I know it is nearly Christmas and I have to be cheerful; but I have just read another imbecility that drove me insane again: drivers using mobile phones can face jail for two years, and this is pushed to the limit with those using hands-free sets as well! Further to this, the police have the power to check your phone records in order to see if you answered calls during times you were driving. Drivers using Sat-Nav and MP3 players also risk being prosecuted.
Now, this is just incredible! Add this dubious thinking with: compulsory TV fees, millions of CCTV cameras following your every move, GPS traceable mobile phones, the compulsory proposed ‘fit-ur-car-with-device-that-will-be-traced-so-that-we-can-bill-you-for-driving-too-much’ green tax and congestion charges idea, the right held by the police to stop and search you without a warrant, iris & fingerprint scans at airports, RFID chips in new passports (chips with GPS tracking capability and all your personal data), proposed ID cards (that will be forced down on us, just watch this space), and the slow proposal and implementation of implanted RFID chips….
Can you see a pattern here? And this all because a few men (of which some are still alive & thus wrongly accused, mind you) killed themselves by supposedly flying into buildings? Nonsense! How can events that took place years ago, take our civil liberties away like that? We are slowly being turned into a distopian society, just as Orwell predicted in his novel, 1984. We are just too marooned by entertainment to notice; the endless reality shows and violent PC games keeping us in a zombie state of ignorance.
Now read the title again…
