    Soon you can be watched everywhere you go in the UK. All your emails, texts and phone calls will be monitored and you can even be seen where cameras can't. This could all be possible with a new anti-terrorism spy plan. Security companies will have real time access to all your personal happenings at the click of a button.

    If it helps protect me and my loved ones...and all of us then surely its not a bad thing.............If you have nothing to hide then shouldnt be a problem...if it can follow prospective terrorists etc then bloody good job too.
    Ok so our privacy is lost but Id gladly give that up to be alive !!

    Sorry but it's nothing to do with terrorism. It's about giving away our freedom.
    I have the right to privacy.

    If you haven't seen the film 1984 it might be a good idea to watch it and see if you want to live in a world like that, because that's where we are headed.

    It's called progress. If you've got nothing to hide no need to worry.
    As technology moves forward. No matter what we do or where we go we shall all leave a trail.

    I read the book but dont think Ive seen the film....cant remember as Im getting old now lol ;D

    But if you think what you do now is private then you are sadly mistaken lol

    Technology has already left the ordinary Joe Bloggs behind.

    Mobile phones are registered in peoples names, computers have have all our details on them. We are already living in this type of world we just don't know much about it and its not made public knowledge.

    If the 'authorities' wanted to find out about someone it wouldnt be difficult.

    We only have as much privacy as we are led to believe we have.

    I somehow dont think anyone is going to be able to stop things progressing. Maybe George Orwell was just a bit out with his dates and years etc ;D ;D ;D ;D

    I agree wholeheartedly with you Swanny.

    I like to think that I am an honest law abiding citizen, but I have a lot I wish to hide from prying eyes. The right to privacy is a basic fundamental right in any free society and should be protected at all cost in my view.

    I find it astonishing that our armed forces are deployed in countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya to facilitate the exporting of our politicians’s human rights agenda, while are own basic rights are being eroded.

    Who is watching the watchers?
