1984...or is that 2007?

, ,

I just don't know what the UK is coming to. This week I saw reports on the news of Trafic Wardens wearing cameras on their hats, and the merseyside police using mini-helecopter (remote controlled) cameras. In addition to the fact that one country town going ape because CCTV is being installed in their sleeply hamlet.

Combine this together and you get an Orwellian 1984 state.

Think a little into time, and you may imagine uniformed officers with cameras, CCTV everywhere, and little automatic 'bug' machines flying through the air. Just incase all the other cameras couldn't catch 'the criminals'. Next week I'm going to hear about the two-way TV that will allow Police to monitor people in the houses, of course, to protect them from having momentary laspes into crime.

So when are the chip implants comming folks?
