staring at clouds

so they want to gather each and every piece of hay on the world and sift through it one piece at a time looking for bits that might be needles

rather than say, finding a magnet for example

and this will be at huge expense, which of course you and I will pay along with everything else in this recession we surprisingly find ourselves in, rather than the labour party themselves funding it

but if they have to spend billions it will of course be worth it if just one person is prevented from dropping litter or allowing their pet to foul the street

which will be the main result, as I've said on many occasions, criminals and terrorists who are in the least bit tech savvy will be able to stay off the radar with relative ease

while you and I end up with cameras recording our every move for posterity, just in case a future government decides to make one of our currently innocuous actions a crime and charges us retrospectively, please don't tell me that it can't happen or I'll ask you to tell me what future governments will do in precise detail .. oh and next weeks lotto numbers would be nice too
