British P.M says rights helped lead to U.K
riots
David Cameron has lashed out against the European Convention on Human Rights in the wake of the London riots.
His rhetoric, to me, seems to be very authoritarian...and what can he do in this situation OTHER than tackle the behavioural problems of a particular
demographic, whereby affecting the general public as well. He promises to crack down on Britain's 120,000 most troubled families. This exact promise
has been used in other countries (including my own - Australia) to try and institute massive electronic "supervision". It has failed before, but
with the riots still fresh in everyone's minds, will the British people just agree to this like they agreed to all the CCTV cameras in London in the
first place?edit on 15-8-2011 by SuperZepto because: Made the link work
i'd like to read a verbatim of what DC stated as opposed to the heavily excerpted link. i know this is typical MSM reporting but that article was so
full of quotations i had to wonder how much of the context, meaning and what was said was left out.
SuperZepto i'm confused by your mention of "will the British people just agree to this like they agreed to all the CCTV cameras in London in the
first place?"
were our Brit friends permitted a vote by their governing body allowing them to choose whether or not these CCTV cameras were installed?
an aside: i read online that in america over 55,000,000 (yes - fifty five Million + ) security cameras are already in use. of course, most of these
are on private property, in places of business, employment and the like. still - 55,000,000 - just, wow! i've been here in the states from birth, and
i don't recall the citizens ever getting an opportunity to vote on those CCTV cameras.
looking forward to reading about this British CCTV vote, i'm interested.
