Conspriacy Friday: Britian’s Big Brother
U.K — British Home Office (The Home Office is the government department responsible for leading the national effort to protect the public from terrorism, crime and anti-social behaviour.) came under fire earlier this week when the department proposed Orwellian style surveillance legislation. The new legislation would detail every every phone call, e-mail, text message, internet search and online purchase in order to combat terrorism.
The plan would include creating a massive database that would be used to spy on the population. Richard Thomas, Information Commissioner of a privacy watchdog group warned that the publics traditional freedoms were under grave threat from creeping state surveillance.
Aside from having access to everyones personal information there are concerns about the ability of the department to be able to securely store the information. Opposition MP’s said the Government has a dismal record on protecting private information. Most notably, in 2007 Prime Minister Gordon Brown apologized for loosing the entire child benefit database which contained millions of people financial details.
Opposition MPs said the Government’s dismal records on safeguarding private data – most notably the loss of the entire child benefit database holding millions of people’s financial details – showed it was incapable of safeguarding such a vast volume of information safely, and the scheme should be dropped immediately.
The current law allows for the police and MI5 to access personal records stored by the telephone companies however, only after a warrant has been issued to examine the customers accounts
The Home Office yesterday defended the need to keep its surveillance powers up to date with changing internet technology, and said full details of the plans would be published this year as part of a new Communications Data Bill.

Well I for one vastly prefer Brown’s stodgy seriousness to Cameron’s vapidness. The only thing Cameron has going for him is Labour fatigue and a fresh new face. Honestly, if Cameron put a little more gel in his hair, and spoke more animatedly and in a higher pitch, he’d be indistinguishable from Blair.
