Well, what can one say to something as ridiculous as that? Gives a whole new twist to the phrase ‘catch ‘em young’!

Yes, this is indeed indicative of the UK government’s policy towards its citizens. But the news that the UK government now wants to track our mobile phone calls, texts, emails and internet browsing habits has got me enraged. For the past 11 years, the UK government has sought more and more control over its citizens, from installing 4.2m CCTV cameras, to the suggestion that we must respond to more and more intrusive questions when they complete the next census. It has simply got to stop.
On this occasion, I have done something about it, in my own small way. I have written an article outlining what the government is seeking to do and my views. But, I have also produced a ‘draft’ letter that can be personalised and sent to local MP’s. I am urging other likeminded people to reproduce the article, to include their own comments, after all, not everyone will agree with all my comments and then publicise it. Maybe the UK electorate can start a programme where people start to bombard their MP’s with a demand that they do not support the latest data communication bill. The link is here if you would care to take a look.
