If we had suggested, ten years ago, that one day soon, the government would draw up a list of prescribed occupations: that they would build a database of millions of people who would need to register for those occupations; and that a committee of Public Safety would be set up with power of absolute veto over every individual on the database; it is just possible that you would have decided that even El Reg had taken leave of its oh-so-cynical senses.
But lo! All of the above is soon to come to pass - and there is a good chance that it will affect a far larger proportion of the population than you might imagine, far more people than the 11.3 million the Government claim it will affect. (14.3 million and rising is our prediction). …
Worth reading the whole thing, because it amply demonstrates the law of unintended consequences.
Also,
Sleight of hand by the Home Office doesn’t quite cover up the fact that last year the number of people wrongly branded as criminals was actually more than the number of people identified as having committed a sex crime.
That is the picture that emerges if you take the time to wade through the morass of ever-so-slightly skewed figures put out by the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB). …

It is becoming clearer by the day that the Government (and the Opposition Parties) will not be satisfied (which is clear by the legislation that they pass unopposed) until every citizen of the UK is on a criminal database in one form or another.

When the Governmental system is so fundamentally flawed as this, when millions of sheeple shrug their shoulders, it makes you wonder when that Bug's Life moment will come and we'll realise that there's a hell of a lot more of us than there is of them.
We must
take an interest in politics and keep an eye on these bastards. I
appreciate the very fact you've read this far means I'm preaching to
the choir, but really, we are sleepwalking to disaster, and I'm afraid
as a nation that has lost it balls we deserve every bit of it.
