That is CREEPY!
Are George Orwell’s books banned in Britain or something?
The British seem to be selling out their long heritage of freedom for "security"- and in the end, they will have neither.
I'm sorry to note that we are on the same road.
It's too far back in the stuff I keep here to find quickly, but I have links regarding the new UK surveillance systems that are supposed to identify gang members- and another that reports how all this increased scrutiny hasn't even made a dent in actual crime.
