British Nanny State To Hack Citizens

Police set to step up hacking of home PCs

Allow me to quote from the article:

THE Home Office has quietly adopted a new plan to allow police across Britain routinely to hack into people’s personal computers without a warrant.

The move, which follows a decision by the European Union’s council of ministers in Brussels, has angered civil liberties groups and opposition MPs. They described it as a sinister extension of the surveillance state which drives “a coach and horses” through privacy laws.

Yup. It's just a matter of time before this is shoved down the collective throat of the US people for reasons of "Fighting Terrorism" or "Controlling Dissension/Sedition".

Really England, How far you've fallen.

    Sure, there's no privacy in England, but that just means there is better footage the television producers can use for their version of 'Cops'

    and England supposedly fought two horrendous world wars for "freedom & democracy"...they may as well not have bothered.....even if Hitler had to have won WWII, their country could hardly be any worse off than it is now!

    what a bloody, pathetic joke!
