Anyone watching this bollox on bbc2?
What the hell is this idiot's [i]point[/i]?
Pure scaremongering, it seems to me.
Turning over cos he's an annoying ****t.
Y'know, you do not have to type up every thought you have 😉
that's what twitter is for
Is that your response to every post?
Everyone, by the look of it...
i live in China. You just get used to it
dezB, apparently the chat forum is not for short frivolous posts anymore, just for arguments.
You can't ask a question that's been asked in the last 18 months either
But its ok to respond when you have f'all to say? Ah, I get it now..

Try having a look at the threads started by the people who complain about threads. There's often not a lot there.
DO you have a webcam Debz? 😆
Are you dyslexic spongebob?
I thought all threads had to have a mention of the Big Bike Bash?
Oh, this one does now 😉
Well, I thought it was quite inertesting, but nowt I din't already know.
It's not the surveillance that's the issue, but what is done with the results of that surveillance. I think the program tried to highlight the dangers of how information can be manipulated and used to suit those who are doing the watching, and how such information can ultimately all into the wrong hands.
I don't ike being watched. If I want to look at pictures of ladies' bottoms, on tinternet, I would like to think I am alone, in my pervertitude, and not being observed by someone else.
People generally don't like to feel they are being watched all the time. It makes them feel uneasy, and breeds distrust, suspicion and fear.

Exactly what that programme was trying to do.
"Everytime you use your mobile phone [i]someone[/i] is recording exactly where you are..." and such bolox.
Anyway Rudeboy, who the hell do you think you are trying to start a sensible discussion about it? hmm?
Yes! Do you like voyeuristic dyslexics then? 😆Are you dyslexic spongebob?
Random!
i thought the first (CCTV) one was a quite well balanced look at the subject, put both sides of the argument and didn't seem to favour either point of view.
Rudeboy is spot on (sadly)
made some very good points about apathy causing 'function creep', a phrase taken from academic texts about the subject showing it was well researched in my opinion.
Your changing of the channel seems only to poignant given this point.
His tone of voice was totally favouring the scare-mongering pov.
[i]Random!

Spongebob - Take your index finger and cover my username. now uncover one letter at a time. How random?
maybe he had a point then DezB - everything I saw was based on fact, and making the Home Secretary squirm was really quite good entertainment
Scaremongering or making a valid point?
'CCTV reduces crime rates' - WRONG
'The ANPR and PNC database are regulated by the Information Commissoner' - WRONG
Ok, the last bit I watched was the AA man who got sacked - spent 15 minutes discribing how the aa were watching this guy's every move, with fancy, pointless graphics. They sacked him due to the data, recording this, recording that. After all this - oh he took it to a tribunal and WON! So what was the point?
So, as a far as I could see, yep scaremongering.
I've never been the paranoid type, so will continue with my apathetic approach to the subject.
true apathy would have meant this thread never existed...you must care, at least a bit.
Mainly at how annoying I found the way it was presented.
Good to get a different point of view though.
