Yeah I have seen it a couple of times, a very good prediction on how things are going I think.

I wrote another paper last year on Privacy in the 21st Century which covered a lot of issues relating to us being one of the worlds leading surveillance societies. if you look at Privacy Internationals league table published earlier this year, we have actually got worse since last years results were published. in the 2006 results we scored 1.5 in the 2007 results we scored 1.4. Interestingly enough Scotland score 2.5 in 2007.

Currently the only countries worse than the UK are Russia, China and Malaysia and we are equal 5th from bottom with Singapore. It is a sorry state of affairs.

I dread to think what next year is going to be like with the addition of CCTV networking, gait and facial recognition, biometrics (like the London transport cards, Airport Staff etc.), vehicle tracking, cell phone tracking (as added to RIPA in October 2007), NHS database etc etc etc the list is almost endless.
