Brown's State - Watching You, Watching Everyone
Blair and New Labour turned the British into the most spied-on people in the western world.
What then, is life going to be like for the UK's citizens given a further five or ten years of 'Brown's Britain' when DNA samples are likely to be collected, by force if necessary, from everyone, and we are all obliged to carry ID cards - “Papers please” - linked to the National Information Register?
Already children as young as five are being fingerprinted and having biometric eyeball scans taken.
Make no mistake, this is the Britain Gordon Brown wants for us all, and those sheep, and there are frighteningly many of them, who bleat "if you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear" are in for a terrible shock - when it is too late.
This is not the sort of country I want to live in, and I despair for my grandchildren and the future they face in Britain.

Now, this is scary. You're right, if I've got nothing to hide, there's nothing to fear...except there's no way for me to know how often a really sick stalker-type weirdo landed a job behind the monitors? What if there's a sick stalker-type weirdo with as many connections as Karl Rove?
CCTV cameras were recently installed in parts of Cincinnati, and I think there were several nods given to the ones in place over in London. The difference? Cincinnati's were installed exclusively in high-crime areas to track gang and drug activity. It should also be pointed out that Cincinnati's gangs have guns. People were shooting the cameras. There was talk of installing cameras to watch the cameras, but hopefully they're not wasting tax money on that.
