Our unquestionable erosion of civil liberties is not down to the government alone, it’s down to the inevitable loss of civil liberties during time of war and make no mistake, the things that are taking place ARE war against us.
As for the fifth columnists having valid ID, it’s not having ID that is the thing that can help in preventing these people doing what they do, it’s the systems behind that provide the security.
Consider for a moment the number of times that the use of mobile phones has been an issue in the detection and prosecution of cases.
Not simply what is said to who but the very fact that a mobile phone once switched on identifies itself and the location that it is switched on at. You don’t even need to originate a call, simply turning the thing on is enough.
Sad to say we now need some form of enhanced security system in place.
Thank you, New Labour, you’ve screwed my country up big time.
John Major only screwed a cabinet minister.
Blair and his mix of arrogance, stupidity, and incompetence has screwed the lot of us.
