There is also another irony, in that during "V for Vendetta", the well-known phrase "People should not be afraid of their Government, the Government should be afraid of its people" is uttered by V.

The irony being that this is exactly why the government is introducing draconian surveillance on an almost daily basis.

The ID cards one was more like "you are all gits get lost we hate you, we know better, and we know where you live"

Of course when they’ve built the e-mail and internet use database they’ll definitely know who you are and where you live if you sign a petition.

I've signed up to some no. 10 petitions before. The response is invariably: "we appreciate your views, but f off, we're doing it anyway".

Some brave soul has started off an e-petition on the Number 10 website against this whole thing, if anyone feels like sticking their head above the trench. I have signed up, I know no fear....

A "friend" of mine is tracing someone at the moment and has enlisted help from a security expert who has pulled out phone conversations from 7 years ago, i've listened to them they do exist. Everything is already being monitored, the law they are trying to pass just allows them to use this data with more scope.

Im actually suprised that anyone here REALLY thought that everything was un-monitored anyway, come on your all clever people!!

Well said.

As far as sheer data and analysis - it is all crunched and assesed - Echelon wasnt just fantasy it was a core system for tracking key information.

Websites are also routinely scanned by government servers for contents et al

Stepping into London - you cannot go anywhere without being seen, and with a mobile fone you can be tracked every step of the way. All your text messages etc are stored with your Telco provider as are calls which get recorded and kept for upto 25 years - probably more now.

Where is the proposed manpower to achieve this ? You need highly-trained staff to assess such messages, and each one may require even more study and cross-checking.

Wave goodbye to unemployment. BOOMED!!!

And no need for highly trained people to scan the info, just send a letter to the "offender" asking them to prove their innocense if they do not wish to be put in jail.

You guys do realise that todays military intelligence ARE running quantum computers. Go look on google, wikipedia for Quantum Entanglement. It's been known for 70 years. In 50 years time we'll all get to use it on our latest Xbox 36000.
