SPIES WILL TAP INTO ALL EMAIL AND CALLS

16.10.08, 8:31am

Why is George Broon giving the spooks or whatever they now refer to themselves as the power to spy on law abiding citizens? We saw what these out of control and secrecy morons did to HRH Diana Princess of Wales, which finally drove her to her death, and has a large number of people still stating that these black arts lawless men/women were in part responsible for her death. The next thing will be, like the KGB in Communist Russia or the Gestapo in Nazi Germany, breaking down our doors in the middle of the night, and the occupants never seen again. There is even now far too much data compiled by Govt. and other people on what we do, our health and what we spend, and where we go. Mr Broon, we do not need you and your ilk giving these spooks more power than they have already. What you should be doing is putting a tighter leash on MI6 and MI5 and the others involved in "Black Arts". The British people need to know that they are safe in their homes, NOT spied on even more than they are right now.

ANOTHER CUNNING PLAN OF LIE-BOUR! NOT!

16.10.08, 7:01am

This IRRESPONSIBLE LIE-bour government canNOT safely keep the records they currently have on file, therefore how they're going to handle any more particularly when the more will be an incessant tsunami of the populace's information. The idea just boggles the mind!

People's private details have been lost or stolen four or 5 times to date since the UNelected prime minister moved into Number 10. Where and how often these vast future personal records will turn up in public locations or easily stolen from government offices as security is severely lacking is serious cause for much concern.

This disreputable and arrogant LIE-bour government forgets that they work for us, the British people and that they are answerable to us, the British people.

Having said that, I now say to INcapability BROWN and his useless government, "YOU'RE ALL FIRED!

It's well past the time for a peaceful REVOLT!

WELCOME TO THE NEW ORDER

12.10.08, 10:22am

Where there is no privacy - there can be no crime.

Normal people are put into this position because the vocal whiners and complainers bitching every time someone farts in public -- demanding the government to stop the 'horrors' and 'protect' them -- what do you expect?

When every movement is watched on CCTV, every transaction you make is recorded (Tesco and every credit card company) and cross-referenced now with everything you read, write or say -- I'd pretty much say we are in a police state already.

Is the issue really 'for your protection and safety' (the catch-phrase for anything the government or anyone else wants to screw you with) or is it more a question of the government self-expanding exponentially -- or even a question of who benefits (financially) from all this nonsense?

One wonders how deeply hooked into the government are the companies providing this technology? Billions and billions of pounds can make for some hefty kickbacks. And of course -- with all these programs being 'secret' -- they couldn't go out for an honest open bid -- could they? So who is the no-bid, sole-source vendor for all of this?

If we were in the USA, we'd know that it must be a member of the George W. Bush "Friends and Family" program to receive such lovely contract gifts -- but it seems in the UK, nobody knows who runs the show, let alone who they are funneling the money to -- so nothing can nor will be done.

In the UK, government funds are viewed as a personal slush fund for every pet project that comes along. If I ran my business into the ground, I could go to hell as far as the government is concerned -- but if I were a bank, I'd get all the 'free money' I want to subsidize the business and, as CEO, a few million pounds salary for doing it.

Unfortunately, just like in the USA, there is NO WAY to stop it. The government has too much power for any amount of 'protest' to ever pay mind to.

THIS REMINDS ME OF A SONG...

Where hearts were entertaining June
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly murmured someday soon...

SPIES WILL TAP INTO ALL EMAILS AND CALLS

A few online sites are talking about how the American government have already dismissed this sort of thin, saying it doesn't work. They use the term data mining, which refers to searching through vast swathes of data for specifics. They have produced a 352 page report called "Protecting Individual Privacy in the Struggle Against Terrorists." The Americans know it's pointless yet the Broon Goon intends to spend billions on it here? Unbelievable.
