Wow, just wow. You guys don't have laws to protect you from laws like this?

You already have posters like this up in Britain which seem to inadvertently invoke the Golden Age of totalitarianism. Looks like Big Brother is setting up shop.

George Orwell must be doing cartwheels in his grave. :nope:

There is no way any government would ever abuse this. That would be wrong. :yep:

Each time such a law are submitted and implemented, do not forget to send a thank you to Osama Bin Laden & Co.. Had it not been for him and his friends, all these laws on surveillance and restriction of our freedom probably not been reached.

Absolutely. They look out for us all the time, and would never try to take advantage of us. :yep:

I, for one, welcome our new totalitarian overlords. :yep:

MUST OBEY...MUST OBEY...

I thought Britain had been doing this since the late 1980s anyway.

I see this as a good thing. Since there is no way the current staff of any country could possibly read everybody's mail, they'll need to hire a great many more workers. In fact they'll need to hire every single unemployed person in the country, and then start stealing employees from companies around the nation. It will probably be easier to pay companies to assign people to this work. Pretty soon we'll have the entire population spying on each other. What could be wrong with that? It will be the ultimate socialist paradise. If everyone works for the government then we all work for each other, and we all get along much better.

It wouldn't work here in the US, though. The states will want a piece of the action, and then we'd have the federal and state governments spying on each other. Not that they don't already. :sunny:

Just think of all the civil service jobs this will create.

April Fools?

Surveillance Tracking And (Web)Site Intelligence :yep:

Hey, lets call it The Stasi for short :D

Bummer, I guess every email I send now will have to have a reference to Bomb, bomb, bombity Bombs in it or sink, sink sinkity sink, just to see what happens.

That poster is awesome! I want one! Been to London a lot over the last few years but never seen one. It's ace!

Totalitarianism may be a great evil but the poster art is always sweet!
