"Your town, your street, your home. It's all in our database."

People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.



This advert is totally and utterly unacceptable. Read between the lines - "if you don't pay your tax we will kick down your door and lock you up."

What the hell is happening to the nation that invented liberty and justice and freedom?

This is a time when our civil liberties are being rapidly eroded, this is the country where citizens can be arrested and detained without trial for longer than in any other European nation. Next it's ID cards, biometric passports and jumbo TVs in town centres.

The similarities to 1984 would be funny if they weren't a clear and present danger.

Welcome to Brown's Brave New World - when the state isn't mollycoddling us and wrapping us in health and safty bubble wrap it tries to scare the shit out of us with the rapid rise in shock tactic tv and press adverts:

First it was boozers


Then it was stoners:



And then one of the most outrageous adverts I have ever seen:



The role of a Government should not extend much past justice. Instead of spending millions of pounds on these ridiculous scare tactic campaigns, why not invest some money reviewing the legal circumstances that result in 9 out of 10 rapists never being convicted?

This unelected executive presides over the plethora of faceless, nameless civil servents keeping the people under control. Millions of pounds every day is wasted attempting to control the minds of an entire nation, which leads you to wonder - what are they so afraid of?

This morally and ideolgically bankcrupt government is rotten to the core.

When I first saw that BBC advert, I choked. It's like living in the Stalinist era.

As ever, there is always a Jefferson quote to fit the occasion:

"To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." - Jefferson
