MPs say ‘UK risks drtifting into surveillance society’ Who do they think doesn’t know UK is already the worst?
Sunday, June 8 LONDON (Reuters) – The government must guard against the drift into a "surveillance society", only keeping data on individuals as long as is absolutely necessary, a parliamentary committee said on Sunday.
The Home Affairs Committee called on the government to adopt a principle of what it called "data minimisation", collecting only essential information and keeping it under a tight curb.
"What we are calling for is an overall principle of ‘least data, for least time’," said committee chairman Keith Vaz.
"We have all seen over the past year extraordinary examples of how badly things can go wrong when data is mishandled, with potentially disastrous consequences."
Last year a government department lost in the post two unencrypted computer discs containing the personal and banking details of 25 million people claiming child benefit.
Concern was also raised after it emerged that police recorded a prisoner’s conversation with his local MP

In ’79, the Chair of a US Senate Panel probing national security questions said, "If Govt ever falls into the wrong hands, there’d be no place to hide"
& covert surveillance gizmos have multiplied since then
Who really thinks ‘weather satellites’ only watch clouds?
They can read licence numbers
& train lasers onto windows to record conversation via vibrations in glass
CBS’ Dan Schorr & CBC’s Des Smith said, in the ’70s. that the TV end of fiber optic cable TV has a tiny fish eye lens
& central computer over-ride means even when the set is off, they can record all in the TV room
State by state in ’70s used Home Certification Ordinances to set min standards of security
Only homes with cable pass
Ads said, "If you go out & leave anything turned on, don’t worry: we can detect it in seconds & turn it off for you"
Controls go 2 ways
To achieve politicos’ dream of 100% healthy, harmonious, productive society, turn on gas at night in homes of old/sick/enemies..
Hi M1ss-X!
NMews not long ago said they are working on gizmos to read your thoughts

National Enquirer 5/10/76 reported tests of a ‘mass brainwashing sound’ in UK
Lab volunteers who heard it would then blindly repeat, "Black is white"
The mastertape was locked in an underground London vaulkt ready to broadcast, should politicos want folk to accept anything they say
In dictatorships, mental hospitals are run, not by a health service, but by the secret service
Critics/enemies of Govt are branded insane
Several good answers so far
I’ll extend expiry time to encourage more creative research & get an outright best answer, OK?
Yahoo/google George Orwell’s classic, 1984 & Aldous Huxley classic, Brave New World
Do results say that Orwell was high up in Brit Intelligence?
& that Huxley’s brother, Julian, was high up in UNESCO & persuaded them to use the book as the model for 24×7 media brainwashing
Yahoo/google 1948 Conference on Mental Health
Do results say it defined mental illness in terms of non-compliance with ‘authority’?
If not, why not???
Mental hospitals in dictatorships are run, not by a health service, but by the secret service
S-s-s-h-h-h!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Equalise
Foreign readers may well tie that to UK’s colonial legacy faster than young Brits, whose history syllabus may obscure anything in history that seems inconvenient to ‘the powers that be’
Together with many guest musicians from both Africa & our twin port city, Mobile Alabama, toured Liverpool Albert Dock’s International Slavery Museum
& it’s powerful
Especially knowing that little kids, like missing Madeleine, are being kidnapped & slave-traded daily in the global pervo pedophile circuit
Hi Lorne!
Thanks for reminder that I didn’t specifically acknowledge the post – best so far – @ Labour charging a member of 80+ – under terror laws – for merely protesting @ Jack Straw @ Labour Conference
A reminder of the Trotskyite leanings of he left wing, yes?

All the above I have witnessed with the National Crime squad here in England,the stuff I could tell you about re the police surveillance esp would blow your mind,I was a target with these people cos of people I knew(still am)and beside the gizmos youve also got to handle what amount to FBI style psyops,this certainly isnt Dixon Of Dock Green anymore fella,serious stuff!!
