I was just about to post that Ducky ....you beat me to it ............those damn nosey Welsh Ambulance Services Health Service Trust  have their noses into everything these days. 

Those sort of laws do tend to slide in under the radar  . 

There was once a suggestion by someone in the Labour Party to have transponders sealed into all new vehicles .   Next we will all be chipped. 

 

[Andy™]

just imagine that 999 call...

'help, someone is having a heart attack'

'our records show your googled CPR last month. youre on your own'

 

[Blue Duck]

or 

Sorry Mr Jones you can't have your benefits this week because you spent every day at home last week *******.

 

[Blue Duck]

So. ...you get up in the morning and they know the following info:

what you watch on TV / Internet,  then using smart meters they can almost see what you have for breakfast, then how long you spend on the loo and how long you shower for then you get dressed (could this be the only private part of your day), go to work, if you use pubic transport then you are tracked for your entire journey.

If you drive to work then there is all the road monitoring cameras, ANPR cameras, speed cameras, yellow box cameras & more cameras, cameras, cameras.

at work depending on what you do you will be tracked, my van is tracked and my phone is tracked to some extent. finish work drive home through cameras cameras cameras, get home back on the Internet, cook dinner have a shower more Internet then sleep........ (simplified for sanity).

Do they really need all this info???

Are they turning us into slaves? 

:Godno:

 

[Sharpend]

Amazing, yet they can't track a terrorist or illegal immigrant!! 

 

[Blue Duck]

terrorists try hard not to be found and illegal immigrants are off grid so to speak.

Besides I don't give a courgette about these people, they are just used to distract us from the real problems we are facing as those in charge slip more legislation under the radar while everyone is busy moaning that they can't get jobs because there are too many Romanians here.

@Sharpend perhaps you were being obtuse, I don't know?

The world has become a tough place and we are being walked all over by these over paid idiots and their corporate buddies.

Looks like you are safe on the porn then.....never mentioned that :slap

 

[Blue Duck]

I don't suppose the porn will be an issue until you get falsely accused of something then your courgetteed.

 

[Kurt]

maybe if everyone in the UK googled bomb making simultaneously, then there would be a melt down in GCHQ.lol  My only concern is how the information is used for say job interviews, prosecutions , benefits , tax. For it to work and assure the public. The information gathered on an individual needs to be declared to that individual similar to your credit rating.

I’ve just downloaded the Anarchist Cookbook and now I’m expecting a knock at the door.

 

[Tony S]

I’ve made a 2½” mortar before, the grenade launcher looks interesting.

 

[Slowhand]

I'm sure that when you have to put your car/van registration number into the parking ticket machine it goes on a national computer somewhere.

Instantly accessible too l reckon.

is that not they lay bricks on (but normally only a 1/2" bed) and made by the mixer load.

I suppose you could fill it with shotcrete to render a wall (a bit messy). This fired round shot.

I've been wanting to read that for years, but don't fancy attracting the attention of GCHQ

 

[Tony S]

I could e-mail it to you but that may attract unwelcome attention  :innocent
