What is going on?
First we have the mess that is the ID cards.
Then yesterday there was a piece in the Guardian about the new database that all medical records will be uploaded to - without your consent. Then it seems that anyone who wants to will be able to see all of your confidential medical information. "Don't worry it's NATIONAL SECURITY"
Then today there is the news that the UK has "sleep walked into a surveillance society". There are now appartently 4.2m CCTV cameras in Britain - about one for every 14 people.
How soon is it before - 'for our own good, NATIONAL SECURITY and all that' - we have DNA taken at birth and a microchip inplanted so we can be monitored at all times.
When did I move to a country where it is assumed that everyone is a potential criminal? From the sound of it there must be dictatorships out there looking to the UK as a map of where to go. How did this happen? Were we just too polite to make a fuss?
