1 in 78 spied on in the UK
Interesting. It appears that councils and the Police issued over half a million requests to spy on us last year, equivilent to one in every 78 adults being “monitored” by the “authorities.” Think about that for a moment. Someone in your street is being bugged by the State. Are you one? Bet I am.
Britain is dying

The Explosive Launch Of The ‘New’ ID Card
This morning against my much better judgement I sent back my driving licence and paper counterpart to the DVLC.
