Police State Britain – Wake Up!
I honestly cannot believe some of the British government schemes that are being put through parliament with hardly a murmour from the British public.
From today’s Guardian:
‘Every citizen would be issued with a carbon “credit card” – to be swiped every time they bought petrol, paid an energy utility bill or booked an airline ticket – under a nationwide carbon rationing scheme that could come into operation within five years, according to a feasibility study commissioned by the environment secretary, David Miliband, and published today.’
Sounds good, no? Green and eco-friendly, with extra-added ‘Help save the planet!’ feelgood factor. What can be wrong with that?
Everything.
Those cards will end up being linked to your new national ID card, the all-invasive CCTV, your passport and much, much, more.
‘The report admits huge questions would have to be resolved, including the risk of fraud, the relationship to ID cards, and costs. However Mr Miliband said ‘bold thinking is required because the world is in a dangerous place’”.
‘The world’ is in a dangerous place? No, it isn’t, and even if it were—does anyone really believe that the fact that the British public are going to be toting personal ‘carbon-trading credit cards’ is going to get ‘the world’ out of this imaginary ‘dangerous place’?
‘The scheme will be discussed at a special cabinet committee on the future role of the state convened for today.’
Yea, a special ‘future role of the state’ meeting at cabinet committee level—and there likely won’t be a single protestor in sight.
You know, I’m not that extraordinarily perceptive that I can be the only person able to see what is really happening regarding these public surveillance and control measures being put in place in the UK, so why are people not doing something about it? Is it now so apparently ‘normal’ to be having measures such as these ‘carbon-trading credit cards’ being introduced that the British public can no longer see them for what they truly are? Or is it that the British public’s political apathy is now at the dire point that nobody can any longer be bothered to stand up and start pushing back at these control-freak politicos?
Brits, listen, sitting back on your comfortable sofa and watching mind-destroying crap like ‘Big Brother’ or ‘I’m a celebrity…’ on TV, whilst doing absolutely nothing about the introduction of these near-draconian laws and schemes is ridiculous, and so very dangerously short-sighted.
Wake up! Get up! Do something! Protest!
