One From The Vaults

As the large-bosomed skunk smoker will doubtlessly be so quick to tell us, all this is for our own good.

There are 653 state bodies authorised to snoop on you. Did you even know that there were that many state bodies?

...in the last nine months of 2006, there were 253,557 applications to intercept private communications under surveillance laws. It is understood that most were approved.


In NINE FUCKING MONTHS, some fuckwit decided that there were over 250,000 NEW people worth spying on?

In that period 122 local authorities sought to obtain people's private communications in more than 1,600 cases.


What the fuck are councils spying on? The fucking bellends can't even tie their own shoelaces, why the fuck are they spying on people?

Senior council officers are given the power to authorise surveillance in order to catch fly-tippers, benefit fraudsters and rogue traders.


Let's just look at that, shall we? Fly-tippers? FLY-TIPPERS? Is there really some fucking vast conspiracy of fly-tippers that requires spying upon? All of these things, however, become entirely redundant when you consider:

Britain remains one of the few Western countries that won't allow this evidence to be used in court … to prosecute criminals and terrorists.


Jesus H. Fucking Christ! So you actually can be spied on by fucking anyone, but they won't bring the evidence that was gathered to charge you?

It's not like this is going to lead to more lazy, incompetent, life-ruining fucking up, is it? Because councils are so fucking jacked up, aren't they?

And what's with all this other, non-council spying? Are there really 250,000 new fucking scum that merit spying on? Or is this going to lead to more lazy investigation by useless, incompetent donut-munchers?

I know where my money is going.
