Reply I do oppose more surveillance, and will vote against any proposal which I think is immoderate and against our liberties.

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 22:11:41 +0000 http://www.johnredwoodsdiary.com/?p=2569#comment-9682 Perhaps I had good reason to be concerned about Facebook because apparently, the Facebook founder has finally found a way to profit from its 150m members' private data by allegedly planning to exploit the vast amount of personal information it holds on its 150m members by creating one of the world's largest market research databases. Details that have been so eagerly given to strangers. That was not all I have recently come across from delving a little deeper into finding the answers to certain questions I have had recently. Why do we ALL have to go on to "digital Television" with no CHOICE? Why when our Digital TV breaks up in fog yet analogue gives a perfect picture? Why have we ALL got to go on Broad Band? Again, probably NO CHOICE. Why, when many people have an analouge TV in every room and have done for many years, why are we being dictated to now into having new Large TV sets which will not be suitable for bedrooms? Will these sets be "moblie"? Just ask yourselves WHY are these new HDTV sets mandatory? Start serching for the answers.

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 12:38:30 +0000 http://www.johnredwoodsdiary.com/?p=2569#comment-9681 I was recently introduced to "Face Book" but didn't bother with it for some months, quite simply because with all the research I do, I simply do not have the time. However, at the end of last week I went 'on' to see what it was all about. The many photographs, the personal details given so eagerly on that web-site is a gift to those that would snoop to place those details so freely given, on to a Data Base. I entered some fictitious names and it was surprising what I came up with. I have sent an e-mail to family members to be very careful what they place on there and to remove some of the photograph OF ME (And Gee, I am so ugly!) that I did not give permission to place on there, to remove at once. I think I will now be replaced by Minnie Mouse. Face-Book was a lovely idea-or was it so gullible people would fall into a trap? Too suspicious am I? Sadly, what is happening now to our Country is nothing compared to what it will be when it is completely Governed by foreigners-can't happen did I hear you say? Wont happen? For the most part we are being governed by foreigners now. I will ask a straight question John if I may? Is this Country eventually going to transfer its remaining waters, seas and Oceans to the EU for their Motorway in the Sea?

I am now the proud possessor of Dominc Raab's 'Assault on Liberty' which I will read with interest on the assumption that it is broadly indicative of current conservative thinking on the issue of civil liberties. I am also going to the Convention on Modern Liberty later next month, so I will see what ideas come out of this. Judging by the number of responses to your post on 'big brother' and by the growing ground-swell of anger felt by many people at an increasingly authoritarian state, this issue should dominate the next election as much as the parlous condition of the economy.
