The People vs the Snoopers' Charter

[Croesy Blue]

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Yet the majority of the country seem happy to give up a huge chunk of their freedom for what is essentially no gain.

You may have nothing to hide now but who knows what changes will be made to the law in the next few years.

Those who would give up essential Security and Safety, to maintain the Liberty of those who wish to cause harm deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Yet the minority of the country seem happy to give up a huge chunk of the whole country's Security and Safety for what is essentially no harm to the average person's Liberty.

Aren't we already the most watched citizens in the world with the number of CCTV cameras? If UK liberty and UK security were a weighing scale then the balance already sits comfortably with security.

Capita, though not a government department, raised suspicion over people's benefits simply because they lived above a "WH Smith" which lead to them being stopped. It may be a lack of understanding that introduces suspicion and that can spiral into something much worse for an innocent person.
