“Unless you are a criminal, then you’ve nothing to worry about.’’
I'm no longer going to compare the modern western police state with Nazi Germany anymore because it would be a disservice to the Nazis. What the "free" West has done in the wake of the 9/11 false flag operation would make Hitler (the image, not the man) shit his pants.

"Britain unveils electronic mass surveillance plan" by Raphael Satter |
Associated Press, June 15, 2012
LONDON - British authorities unveiled an ambitious plan
on Thursday to log details about every Web visit, e-mail, phone call, or
text message in the United Kingdom - and in a sharply worded editorial
the nation’s top law enforcement official accused those worried about
the surveillance program of being either criminals or conspiracy
theorists.
And you thought the cameras on every street corner were bad?
The government insists it is not after content.
As if that mattered.
It
promises not to read the body of e-mails or eavesdrop on phone calls
without a warrant.
Another government promise, huh?
But the surveillance proposed in the government’s
118-page draft bill would provide authorities a remarkably rich picture
of their citizens’ day-to-day lives, tracking nearly everything they do
online, over the phone, or even through the post.
All that thumping you here is the carcass of Orwell whirling away in the coffin.
All that data would be kept for up to a year - ready for
browsing whenever anyone in authority wanted it.
Meaning they will keep it forever because these guys never throw anything away unless it implicates them in crimes.
In some cases, the bill
envisages monitoring the information in real time.
Home
Office Secretary Theresa May said in an editorial published ahead of
the bill’s unveiling that only evil-doers should be frightened.
“Our proposals are sensible and limited,’’ she wrote in
The Sun, the country’s top-selling daily. “They will give the police and
some other agencies access to data about online communications to
tackle crime, exactly as they do now with mobile phone calls and texts.
Unless you are a criminal, then you’ve nothing to worry about from this
new law.’’
Isn't that one of Murdoch's papers?
Yeah, just what the British need: more hacking and spying (legal when it's government).
Yet plenty of people were worried, including a senior lawmaker from May’s governing Conservative Party.
“This is a huge amount of information, very intrusive to
collect on people,’’ David Davis, one of the proposal’s most outspoken
critics, told BBC radio. “It’s not content, but it’s incredibly
intrusive.’’
Human rights defenders were aghast. Privacy group Big
Brother Watch said the proposal risked turning Britain into a “nation of
suspects.’’ Civil rights organization Liberty said the law would mean
the “indiscriminate stockpiling of private data.’’
Authorities and civil libertarians have been debating the
plan for weeks, but Thursday marked the first time the government
itemized exactly what kinds of activity it wanted to track.
The bill would force providers - companies such as the BT
Group PLC or Virgin Media Inc. - to log where e-mails, tweets, Skype
calls, and other messages were sent from, who was sending them, who they
were sent to, and how large they were.
What's next, crawling up your ass?
Details of file transfers, phone
calls, text messages, and instant conversations, such as those carried
over BlackBerry Messenger, would also be recorded.
Can they hear this all the way over there?
The bill demands that providers collect IP addresses,
details of customers’ electronic hardware, and subscriber information,
including names, addresses, and payment information.
What May did not mention in her editorial - and the Home
Office left off its press release - was that the government also is
seeking to keep logs of citizens’ Internet history, giving officials
access to the browsing habits of roughly 60 million people - including
sensitive visits to medical, dating, or pornography websites.
Prefer to send mail the old-fashioned way? That would be monitored, too.
Gee, GOOD THING YOU BRITS are SWIMMING IN MONEY and NOT FACING ANY SOCIAL SERVICE CUTS or anything!

Oh.
Officials say they need all that information to stay on
top of a rapidly-changing technological landscape. Britain’s online
child protection agency said Thursday it was missing out on a quarter of
the traffic used by child pornography networks. In an editorial in the
Times of London entitled “Trust me, I need to know about your e-mails,’’
Scotland Yard chief Bernard Hogan-Howe said the collection of
communications data played a role in 95 percent of serious crime
operations.
The measure remains a draft bill and is subject to change before it is presented to Parliament.
