Talking CCTV

[Forward Union]

More authorotarian steps beign taken in the United kingdom, these have been introduced in a few towns. In fact there's currently a plan to implement them in 21 areas: Southwark, Barking and Dagenham, Reading, Thanet, Harlow, Norwich, Ipswich, Plymouth, Gloucester, Derby, Northampton, Mansfield, Nottingham, Coventry, Sandwell, Wirral, Blackpool, Salford, Middlesbrough, South Tyneside and Darlington.

They are soon to be introduced where I live, and we're taking steps to oppose them They're pretty fucking scary, watch the video.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like I'm in Vs London oppressed by NORSEFIRE or something! Hopefully they won't come into use in Scotland!

That is very scary to say the least! I hate how the authorities use the excuse that "The majority of people want it". I dont care if 99.9% of the people wanted the bloody talking cameras i personally would still fight against them because the majority of people are not always right! Indeed the majority of people are brainwashed into believing that things such as talking cameras are good for them and that they are for "law and order" puposes only. Do you not think it funny that this story has not received mainstream media attention? The media bosses are probably taking a little money on the side from the politicians the bastards. Here is an idea why dont people in the left band together and start smashing up security cameras in their local area? (Covered up of course :D ) Indeed a similar thing happened with speed cameras not long ago with motorists smashing them up. Plus it will be hard for the media to demonise the left if we do not get caught doing it and if we cover ourselves up so the cameras we smash up dont see us or smash the cameras when they are facing in an opposite direction away from us.

DEATH TO BIG BROTHER!

To be honest the "we live i na fascist state" argument really annoys me but this "You are being monitored" being shouted at people as they walk about the town centres is a bit of a cliche I have to say!

The trouble is a good majority of the voters prefer him to Cameron. The opinion polls show this fact as does the resurgence of the Labour party. I call this the John Major effect as it is very similar to the situation the Tories were in in the early 90's where after getting rid of Margeret Thatcher and appointing John Major everybody thought that Labour were going to blitz the Tories in the upcoming general elections. Instead Major ended up shocking everyone when he was elected back into office. The same will probably happen with Brown and Labour especially if they call an early election. Dont you think it is funny that it took Labour to rebrand themselves as New Labour and to adopt neo Liberal and Thatcherite policies to get themselves back into power in 1997? The Tories really did dominate politics in the 80's and early 90's as they forced Labour the traditional working mans party to change themselves into a fresher and more neo Liberal version of the Conservative party and to adopt the sworn enemy Margeret Thatchers own policies to beat the Tories at their own game in the general election of 1997!

This continuing movement towards more authoritarian rule we are seeing around the world is truly worrying.
