- I'm sure the government know
The Independent tells a scary story. This is typical of the UK government’s current obsession with controls which do little to protect against real threats (surveillance doesn’t prevent—it’s main use is in investigation of crimes which have already been committed) but instead simply continually invade the long held privacy of the individual. Perhaps they’d like me to also stick my ID card in the window, or maybe just tattoo a number across my forehead so they can track when I’m not driving (what—that crazy? Why, it would bring the same benefits, wouldn’t it…)
