Has Labour lost all sanity

Looking at the Register the latest idea of our labour unvotred in leader takes some digesting. You would think after losing heavily in the local elections he would think before he signs on dotted lines mind he would need to stop sitting on his brains to do that.

The Brown government is considering a central database of all UK communications data including times and durations of phone calls, emails and internet access for every British citizen.

The draft bill is still being considered by ministers and a Home Office spokeswoman told us no decision had yet been reached.


The spokeswoman told The Register: "Ministers have made no decision on whether a central database will be included in that draft bill." She refused to compare the proposed legislation to Ripa, as it is still only a proposal.

Under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act passed in 2000 and the Anti-Terrorism Crime and Security Act 2001, companies like telcos and internet service providers already have to keep this information in case it is needed by a police or security service investigation.

It appears what is different now is that this information will be actively collected and stored in one place by the government. Reports on the proposals suggest authorities will still need to go to the courts to gain access to the database. However, such a massive amount of data will be ripe for speculative data-mining and fishing techniques, rather than more targeted searches.

Privacy international has already said this would be illegal, would you trust this government with your data or as many are saying is it time to turn your back on your home country and move somewhere else.
 
l dont trust any of them as far as l can throw them after loosing data like they did before, not only that they are turning us into criminals with 24h surveillance it feels from my perspective.
 
I can understand why youth of today are talking of finishing uni then looking overseas for work to move from this society that has become the new china/russia rolled into one.

No need for me to worry .With NHS computer system now 4 years behind schedule by the time they have everything else collected ( if they don`t lose them along the way ) it will be the next century .:laugh:
 
Yep it's time to exit stage left and move abroard. What with taxes, fuel and all the other hidden costs, why should anyone want to come and live here. They will find out the hard way when the whole lot comes crashing down with dire consequences.

Paul.
 
as far as l know the polish are relishing living here, after being told to f off from my old job within a week they hired 3 polish girls to take over my job, they are also talking about letting the guy l worked with go so they can have another polish worker because they can be hired so cheaply.

in short the ratio of polish to british on the farm l live on at the moment is arounf 60% polish 40% british which is annoying the hell outta me, wonder how many read the stats the BBC posted on immigration.
 
It's almost like they are trying to lose the next election...

Is the minute chance of being blown up by a terrorist worth the price of the crazy laws they are bringing in under the pretence of "protecting our nation".

It's been said that terroists will never change the way we live our lives or threaten our "freedom", they dont need to try with the likes of Gordy and friends in charge...

Those terrorists must be laughing their arses off...

either that or they have decided to plan their next attempt from across the channel.. somewhere.

still after rolling the thread title around in my head again, hell if kits turned the post title into a question like "Has Labour lost all sanity?" my answer would be, yes altho l wonder if they had any from square one, granted Blair was annoying as hell any maybe did one or two things that went in the right direction but anyone considering themselves truely sane would have never put Brown in charge, thats like giving a toddler a shot gun with nothing but triggers, and wondering why all the babysitters get maimed by various but numerous rounds of buckshot.
