I had a wry smile at that when i first heard it, they say it so off-handedly don't they?

But we've sleepwalked into it now well and truly, and all too many don't seem to care, whether it be CCTV at every corner instead of a pair of human eyes, or ID Cards.

The government wont care if we find it scary or not. I'm sure they think the next generation wont be able to imagine what it would be like not to be recorded 24/7.

It's like something from one of those movies set in the future, when a totalitarian government rules.

A Big Brother Society if you will. Orwellian even.

Where every home has a surveillance unit, a picture of the head of state and a little book of tired cliches.

It might be 2008, but that is something right out of 1984; I find it ridiculous that you have to buy a tv license, I was like wtf when I first heard about that

all that really means is they have addresses on a database - big wow. the tv licence crowd are just trying to scare us into paying.

however, the id cards issue scares the shit out of me.
