  • Government Rejects Lords’ Surveillance Criticism

    The Register
    Wednesday, May 20, 2009

    The Government has rejected claims that it is conducting too much surveillance on citizens and has said that it has got the balance between surveillance and liberty right. It has rejected many recommendations recently made by the House of Lords.

    The House of Lords Select Committee on the Constitution issued a stinging rebuke to Government in February, claiming that over-surveillance was breaking the trust between Government and the people, and that intrusion into people’s privacy risked undermining democracy itself.

    It said that judicial oversight of surveillance must be introduced, but the Government has rejected that proposal.

    The Government has issued a point-by-point response to the Lords’ claims and says that it does balance privacy on one hand and protection and effective service delivery on the other.

    “The Government respects the privacy of its citizens,” said the Government Response to the Lords’ report. “We take the protection of their personal information extremely seriously and we are committed to handling it safely and securely.”

    “It is essential that we all understand that the Government must strike a balance between the right of the public to their privacy, their right to the more effective delivery of public services and their right to protection from crime and terrorism. This Government will always take a principled and proportionate view of what needs to be done to protect the public and respect individual privacy, and will flex our approach where necessary,” it said.

      Principled and proportionate always principled and proportionate there could never be any doubt about that. I met a lard once he said “Uhmm that was nice is there any more?.”
      I think he was disappointed that nobody else was still able to move.

      The constitution isn’t upheld anymore for a reason. To find out watch http://www.tpuc.org/node/558 and see the proof. We are all capable of being ruled under common law, constitutional law and all our god given rights are reserved to us. All we have to do is declare it to be so and it is. The gold fringed flag flying in our courtrooms shows it is an admiralty court and UCC (uniform contract code) law is being applied and since 1938 we switched over from constitutional law in our courts. The positive act of no longing volunteering to be a slave to the Banksters frees us from them-watch Robert Menard on you tube.
