This, shamefully, is modern Britain. Texts, e-mails, phone calls, internet sites visited, all recorded. DNA of the innocent kept on a database. More CCTV cameras than anywhere else, sound capture devices in our streets, snooping cameras hidden in bushes and rocks, police drones flying over open air concerts. No more free speech, thought word or deed. Sad eh ?

Believe me, I lead a peaceful law abiding existance but this scares me for our generation and my childrens generation. I don't want racist biggots,criminals, gangs and drug dealers or terorists but I don't want a police state either. At least allowing freedom of speech might stimulate debate and allow people to be informed and draw their own conclusions, but a population of controlled, manipulated people all frightened to think or behave differently is not how humans should behave. Eventually all creativity will be stiffled.There will be no freedom to demonstrate or object only to obey.
