Big Brother is now listening to our private conversation!!!

It’s cheap, it’s foolproof and we can start to implement it today. Let’s install surveillance cameras and microphones in every room of every new home that is built. Make it a condition of planning consent. Insist on it in every refurbishment. Offices? Yes, of course offices, too. Why not?

It won’t just leave terrorists with no place to hide, it’ll expose criminals wherever they’re holed up or plotting. Isn’t this the logical extension of what is already happening, of what we’re allowing with barely a squeak of protest?

I could go on. There is no limit to the degree of control the state can exert on the individual citizen – if the citizen is foolish enough to permit it. And, before you ask who would be that daft, the answer is you and I. We’re already that daft. We have grown accustomed to being photographed 300 times every day in cities. We accept CCTV despite Metropolitan Police records showing that in 2008 only one crime was solved per 1,000 cameras. Full story...
