THE letter from my friend Robert Feal-Martinez (we’ll all be criminalised - SA, January 30) is published on the same day as Gordon Brown tells us he wants broadband internet in every home by 2012. Now, where have we heard that date before? Oh yes, the Lisbon Treaty comes in then, doesn’t it.
Once on the internet any computer can be snooped on and read. Given the new offences Mr Feal-Martinez outlines in his letter, and the things most people hold on their computers such as personal and private information, it is not hard to connect the two.
But then again the bulk of the people obviously have no objection to being spied on by Government. If they did then they would be voting for the only moderate party with the intention of repelling these odious laws.
The fact that we are not doing so well as we could be in the opinion polls shows that the vast majority must enjoy living in a totalitarian dictatorship!
