Another Right Chipped Away

Don't expect the Government to trumpet there latest wheeze, because the bunch of lovely people will today have access to your phone records, both landline and mobile.
Almost 800 different official bodies including police, security services, tax authorities, NHS trusts and local councils will have access to who you called, when you called and how long you called.
After hearing we have more surveillance cameras than anywhere else in the world, we are already the most watched people on the planet - now they want to know who we talk to as well?
The government also plans to extend the powers to cover email, blogs and internet activity. All in the name of increasing security, the Government will know more about parts of our personal life than our family and close friends.
Other countries are putting up a fight. 15,000 people took to the streets of Germany to protest against their government's plans for data retention. Butin Britain? Hardly a peep.
We are literally sleepwalking into a surveillance society ane we don't seem to care.
THE 'DOING IT FOR OUR OWN SECURITY' IS A LIE PEOPLE.....WAKE UP!!!!
