So the UK government wants to monitor all citizens telephone calls, text messages, emails and Internet activity whether or not the persons concerned have committed or are even suspected of having committed 'unlawful' activities.


In a move that is akin to the actions of the most repressive nations on the planet, Britain will, if this proposal gets approval, wipe out individuals' rights to privacy in one fell swoop.

Surely it would be more cost effective and much much more secure to simply enclose the UK in barb wire, prevent anyone entering or leaving, shut down the telephony and Internet services, the Royal Mail and just to be sure, make speech illegal to utter or listen to.

That way everyone in the country is assured of security and protection from terrorists and criminals because in one move they can ALL be terrorists and criminals.
