Big Brother...
... is getting closer to reality every day. Step by step the government slices off a thin slice of the salami, getting closer to their goal each time - total monitoring of the public.
One of the really sad things is most people actually don't realise just how invasive this is on their privacy. Sure there's no one there watching you what you do in your living room, but with this kind of electronic tracking, it's just as good, if not better. The attitude of so many people saying "I have nothing to hide, why should they be interested in me" shows how little they really understand. If someone is being followed by someone else, they scream, but if they are being electronically followed, they don't care. Where's the difference???
It's time to stop this stupidity from the government. This whole electronic tracking gives so little in positive results, results that could otherwise be achieved with a sufficiently maned police force. I have no right to track Gordon Brown, why should he have the right to track me?
