COMMENT:- When I was young we wore leather soled shoes and boots
with metal toe and heel plates. We really should go back to them to
make sure there will be no misunderstanding when we click our heels
together when in the presence of any form of official, be it a
politician, traffic warden of even a dustman! Sieg Heil. BL.

Just who, sits and works all this out? It's just an excuse to bug us!
It is "salami" government and control of the public - all as per
Agenda 21 of course....! (21 being the century...as you know.)
This is Big Brother in practice, together with the camera in every
TV and recorder - as they already are today! (You didn't know...?)
What a society! What a disgrace! How have we all allowed it to
descend to this?
I'm glad I'm 80 - not 18! This will be a very grim world indeed, in
a few years.
Stan.
PS: Never have a confidential conversation anywhere near a TV - just
in case you didn't know. This makes me a whistleblower, now!
Next...and further down the line, they (cameras) will be in 'fridges
and cookers - and possibly bathroom equipment....and no - I'm not
"being silly!"

Every new car sold in Britain will have to have a ‘black box’ device
fitted to track drivers’ movements from next year, under plans being
imposed by the European Union.
Despite serious concerns about privacy and cost, UK ministers admit
they are powerless to stop the Big Brother technology being forced
on motorists and car makers.
The Government believes the gadget, designed to help emergency
services find crashed vehicles, will add at least £100 to the cost
of vehicles without providing significant safety improvements.

Officials also fear the scheme, known as eCall, could be used by
police or insurance companies to monitor motorists’ every move.
The European Commission has ruled that by October next year, all new
cars and vans sold across Europe must be fitted with the technology,
which contains a mobile phone-like SIM card designed to transmit the
vehicle’s location to emergency services in the event of a crash.

But The Mail on Sunday has seen official correspondence from the
Department of Transport showing the UK’s opposition to the policy,
which could lead to the ‘constant tracking’ of vehicles.
In a letter to MPs, Transport Minister Robert Goodwill writes: ‘The
basis for our opposition is that costs to the UK outweigh the benefits.

‘Unfortunately, there is very little support for the UK position and
no possibility of blocking this legislation. We are working with
other member states to minimise the potential burdens on
manufacturers and the potential cost to consumers.
‘With regard to the rules on privacy and data protection, other
member states have expressed similar concerns to us, about the
potential for constant tracking of vehicles via the eCall system.’
Emma Carr, of civil liberties group Big Brother Watch, said last
night: ‘Motorists will not be comfortable forcibly having a black
box installed which is capable of recording and transmitting their
exact location when they are driving.’
New model: Some car manufacturers, including BMW and Volvo, already
include eCall devices in their latest models. However, voluntary
take-up has been low across the industry. Above, the BMW i3

Some car manufacturers, including BMW and Volvo, already include
eCall devices in their latest models.
An SOS button near the dashboard, linked to a SIM card, allows
drivers to call 999 quickly. And if airbags are deployed it
automatically sends a text message to emergency services with the
car’s location – as well as its unique vehicle ID number.
Voluntary take-up has been low across the industry so the EU ruled
all new car models must include eCall from October 1, 2015.
Motorists will be unable to switch it off and it will be tested in
MoT checks.

*Robert Goodwill MP*
The EU Parliament voted it through last month and a draft of the law
is due to be published next week before it is agreed by the EU
Commission.
Britain is trying to push back the deadline by two years.
The UK also hopes the new text will include assurances on the
privacy risks of eCall, which were highlighted in a European
Parliament legal report earlier this year.
The study said manufacturers will want to include ‘value added
services’ for the SOS devices, such as sharing the data with
insurers and recovery firms.
A separate study by the EU Data Protection Supervisor warns of the
‘potential intrusiveness’ of eCall given that it operates on the
same basis as mobile phones and ‘potentially enables the constant
collection of the vehicle’s geolocation’. It urges ‘stricter
safeguards’ against ‘unlawful’ use of personal data.
Brussels insists eCall will save 2,500 lives a year by speeding up
emergency services response times.
