WOULD YOU CREDIT IT....?

Current mood: OH JESUS...
Category: OH JESUS... News and Politics

Well, I don't like to get political these days, but every so often something comes up that staggers even my withered and cynical gaze...

This latest something is the news that as of 2009, everyone leaving or entering the UK will have to answer the following 53 questions or be barred departure/entry...

Of course this is being brought in under the guise of preventing terror, but the government have also suggested that anyone who has outstanding debts/fines or a record of being 'an abusive drunk' will be barred from entering or leaving the country or at the very least be recieved and/or monitored the other end by the local constabulary...

If you think I'm joking go and have a looky here...

Currently listening : The City of Lost Children By Angelo Badalamenti Release date: By 09 January, 1996

	Paul Hawkins	Have you seen anything that Naomi Klein has wriiten lately? This list is fucking mad. More data compiled in the name of what exactly? Posted by Paul Hawkins on Thursday, November 15, 2007 at 19:33 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	I've browsed Kleins stuff and she seems to be mainly right, though as with Chomsky I find her a little too technical in her written delivery. Maybe I should do a tabloid version... I would imagine the data collection thing is all about power, control and marketing..
