Why is it DITW that you and rustyme think they know what is going on really and that everyone else is stupid. Are you sure you are not the dangerous ones.

[deepinthewoods]

i havent said anyones stupid. ,
if i thought that i wouldnt offer these points up for discussion.
however, i do find it disconcerting that the times i do offer these up, i get the  same people repeating the same accusations.
in a democracy im allowed to have my opinion. there is nothing dangerous in that.
what is dangerous, is that this government is determined to monitor and store all our personal communications.
hence my post.

where i also accept there is a percentage of the population who live in blissful ignorance.

Hey, that's me!

   hi rosemary - best place to be IMO - we made need a new 'in blissful ignorance' emoticon

[deepinthewoods]

my grandad who fought hitler to protect your right to blissful ignorance would be turning in his grave.

I was worried when I ehard on the news today a discussion on keeping tabs on us for various reasons.  Even if you go through a red light, or go a tad fast through a timed speed limit, it is recorded somewhere and attributed to you.  It scares me to be honest and I haven't ever done anything bad  ....  except rile folk with my straight talking 

[deepinthewoods]

thats true too, thanks annie.
most roads in the uk have anpr cameras mounted on them for this very reason.
get ready for toll roads!!

as if we are  not taxed enough already just look at the tax on fuel  road tax insurance tax  vat on everything  else  hee haw left to spend on anything else

[deepinthewoods]

exactly robert, but, say you wanted to organise a protest against that, how would you, if you were being monitored 24/7 ??

If the UK is such a bad place to live why not move to another country.

[deepinthewoods]

its not.
but if its people arent careful it soon will be.
this bill would make us one of the 3 countrys in the world that have this law, us, china and iran.

Well Deep I'm afraid signing a petition will not make the slightest bit of difference to the way things pan out.

A few years back all hell kicked off about the price of road fuel it didn't stop it going up in price though.

Whenever your feeling low heres the way to go just give a little whistle and

Always look on the bright side of life de de de de dum de de

No wonder you want to stay in the UK your in Cornwall...lovely. I lived at Budock Vein (Mawnan Smith).



 

[deepinthewoods]

well, thats where your wrong.
the olympics tax dodge by macdonalds, cocacola and siemens was stopped by the petitions previously put up. instead of them not paying tax on their profits from selling stuff at the olympics, they now have, resulting in a fir few more quid for the treasury i should think.
maybe you should try doing a bit of research yourself before you hum yourself into lala land.

[jaykay]

If nothing else, the fact that the only other countries with this law are China and Iran convinces me - what company to keep!
