Is the Labour party surveillance mad ?

MY MY could this be the straw that broke the Camel's back. We need this like we need a hole in the head and to use it in the name of protecting us is farcical. We already have enough cameras to keep surveillance on the whole of europe on this little Island, not forgetting the listening devices attached. We're now to have our emails read our text messages gone through and our phone calls tapped. Have the people of this country gone soft? or are they going to let this Stalinist regime walk all over us. What next our children reporting us to party headquarters for being bad communists? as this let me assure you is the way it's going. Want proof, look in your phone book to see the numbers to grass your neighbours up, as that along with "WE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE " adds on the tv make up to a very unhealthy combination. Democratic society we no longer have, just an Orwellian prediction come to haunt us.

The government couldn't organise the proverbial p*** up in a brewery. I expect if it ever happens, someone will find the data in somebody's wheelie bin or on a tip somewhere, or left on a train, or on the back seat of a stolen car ...

Labour are obsessed about surveillance and collecting information because it gives them the illusion of control. People accept the argument that it will fight crime, without giving a second thought to the fact that this has never been tested so they don't know. They whip up fear in people and then offer a supposed solution. I expect they will use the same safety argument to encourage informers next (they are getting more like the Nazis every day).

Well, personally I support the idea completely. Only paranoid reactionaries think the Government will turn on them--- it's an extremely useful tool for fighting crime, and it has proven very effective elsewhere. If you're in favour of safety, you should support this move.

I personally think it's a disgrace! This is an invasion of our privacy in my opinion, it's an infringements of human rights as well! Vote conservative!

In the U.K and the U.S. ... big brother is watching more and more ... Using the excuse that it's to keep us safe .
