It is never pleasant watching any one squirm - the one exception being a politician of course - that is always worth watching. I can sit down with a cup of tea and watch it time and time again - so that is my afternoon planned.
But as we all watch the Home Secretary pathetically trying to justify letting criminals of the very worst kind that should have been deported free to roam about after being told of the problem in August 2005 - it occurred to me whilst all this was going on, this government is trying to bring in a surveillance system that will cover all of us as we drive about so that our time using the roads can be charged.
What hope has any such system to monitor law abiding people (tho' some in government believe, I am sure, that you are a criminal for using a car) when those that have inflicted heinous crimes are free to roam at will.
Perhaps they will be able to find them by default because they no doubt drive a car without Tax Insurance. After all if you want to stay hidden you are hardly likely to trot along to your local PO to tax a car.
Is it just me or does anyone else find it worrying that vast sums of money are to be spent on a satellite surveillance system to monitor us all when a small number of criminals - already detained at Her Majesties Pleasure, cannot be monitored despite a Judge saying that after their sentence has been served they should be deported?
