Who's watching you? (1) 2:08pm on 09 Feb 2009 Why does this government, on many pretexts, consider it has the right to collect information and monitor us so much? I do not see erosion of privacy to this extent in other european countries or democracies.
-The Home Secretary is 'disappointed' by the Europen Court ruling on storing dna data for non offenders and after months has failed to implement the binding ruling.
-The Prime Minister misuses terror legislation to freeze Icelandic assets.
- Some Local Authorities use the same powers for astonishing reasons such as wheelie bin and dog fouling 'crime'.
-Families have been held in custody on terror legislation when returning home from holiday with their children because 'officials' decided the children might be trafficked.
What a complete abuse of power from the top down.
Is some organisational paranoid psychosis sweeping this government, fuelled by a westminster village seige mentality? There is more than a whiff of incompetent stupidity afoot.
It is difficult not to imagine scenarios where these powers, along with information gathering, could be abused over and over again and this government has demonstrated it cannot be relied upon to keep information secure or act within the spirit of even it's own legislation.
But is it art? 4:45pm on 14 Jan 2009 Self indulgent nonsense. Any adolescent with the facilities to form plastics etc. could do better and would in most cases have a more erudite and thought provoking representation of countries.
Births outside marriage - a real cause for concern 11:35am on 06 Oct 2008 The marital status of parents is an irrelevence, as is the gender, race, able-bodiedness, sexual orientation and so forth. The quality of a parent-child relationship is all that matters.
How offensive that children have been ostracised and have even been given a pejorative name, vis. 'bastard' by sanctimonious religious fools over the centuries, purely for social control/power reasons. Such as it is, it is a shining example of a disrespectfulness which a caring parent would steer a child away from.
