Farewell Britain. You will be missed as a Bastion of "Freedom" and WW2 "Anti-Commo"

I knew Sweden was implementing Rules to Spy on ALL phone calls and emails which were International in nature. All in the name of the Phony "War On Terror".

It seems Britain has decided it would rather be like Communist USSR and tomorrow new laws come into power allowing the Govt to SPY on every single phone call in Britain. And by 2009 the Government plans to extend the rules to cover internet use: the websites we have visited, the people we have emailed and phone calls made over the net.

This is an outrage, abomination and any other word of similar meaning. And you can read more about this Big Brotherism here... Big Brother Britain: Government and councils to spy on ALL our phones

This is Massive news and yet I've heard little of it. Is the Main Stream Media complicit in this in failing to report on it? For I cannot imagine the British so asleep as to not be vehemently protesting this one - for the little use it will do to actually have the Govt do what the people want.

I feel sorry for those who live in Britain and urge... if you can, for your own freedom's sake (what little of it left available in the world), leave the country for somewhere else not yet afflicted with this insane spying - like the USA or Australia or even New Zealand, Canada and even Ireland.

Michael, sorry to hear about the problems but what makes you think we want all the folks who won't stand up and fight for their rights, on their own soil and with their own government, over here in the USA? We've problems enough without inheriting everyone else's problems, too.

If people keep running away from their problems instead of staying and seeing the fight through in their own country, soon there will not be any place to run to. Nobody really wants folks who won't fight for their rights no matter where they be...except tyrants who wish to subjugate them...or naive mother/father earth types who take everyone who cries foul to their hearts saying 'Oh, there's always room for one more'. WRONG!

If agricultural lands (which feed a large part of the world, incidentally) keep being taken over by housing for the multitudes, this country will no longer be the source of many foods to feed ourselves and others. We'll all see a bit of it in microcosm as a result of all the weather devastation to crops this year. Higher prices, unavailabilities, lost jobs to transport, export, import, and sell food products will be pretty widespread due to the situations now prevalent, regardless of the cause.

Stay home, folks, and fight the good fight for what YOU want YOUR government to do/not do. It's a win-win solution for all.
