OK, I've been ill, a severe case of man flu involving a lot of toast, tea and chocolate but sitting at my desk this morning, listening to yet another draconian, big brother, fascist (I don't use the word lightly) scheme for surveillance which can track people and cars using every cctv system in London.
I think I heard the above security expert say that we shouldn't be worried about this scheme creeping into other areas of our life as it was clearly stated what it was meant to do, and that is to be able to watch anybody all across London. Well that's OK then.
They've crossed the line from Big Brother to actually using Newspeak to hide and cover what they are up to.
"Yes, don't worry, it is limited, just to all of London and only the people that we can see with our cameras will be watched. So don't worry now."
This is another chip away at our freedoms.
While this guy, another "Security Expert" seems to want up the level of fear and paranoia.
Peter French when interviewed on SkyNews said that basically, yes there was a rising level of threat and yes we would need more surveillance. Well, just a moment he's a security expert, what's he going to say? Oh no everything's OK, this stuff doesn't actually work anyway that much does it?
And also, anybody who uses the noun UK PLC, just discount anything they have to say; if they equate their country to some sort of business corporation where you have to pay money to have a voice in the entity and then only the richest will make their voices heard, well he's not going to give that much for the concepts of liberties, freedom and privacy.
