I listened to an item on Talk TV this morning in which David Davis MP said information had come to light that suggests many people including himself were spied on by the army during the lockdown and their information passed directly to the cabinet office. I googled it and there's plenty of info there. www.rt.com/news/570629-uk-government-spied-covid-critics/An interesting 20 minutes - youtu.be/tNIcapT2dfIAnd people laugh at me when I say we should be very concerned about sleepwalking into a surveillance society. |

The thing that gets me, if I was mugged and beaten they'd scour the 'grainy' CCTV footage of distorted images.
Yet if I was caught illegally parked the CCTV footage would be crystal clear.

I suppose that it's logical that the army should be monitoring the internet for "disinformation" as this has become a form of warfare nowadays. If Russia can destabilise the UK by spreading lies about various issues then it's right that someone should be watching out for this and trying to stop it.
The problem is who decides what's disinformation. It seems that they've decided that anything that's against government policy is to be regarded as disinformation. So those who were, for example, against Lockdown (like Peter Hitchens) were monitored and anyone who tried to debate the safety of the Covid vaccines were monitored as well. Yet the govt's policy on lockdown is now known to have been wrong, and the likes of Hitchens were right. And debating the safety of the vaccines is perfectly valid - yet we've recently seen that Andrew Bridgen has had the whip withdrawn because he raised perfectly legitimate concerns about the safety of mRNA vaccines. This is VERY worrying.
Also it seems that the govt has the power to get the search engines to prevent people finding certain articles/youtube stuff that they don't like - which I wasn't aware of. Or even get sections deleted. That's very Orwellian. I'm surprised that people aren't more concerned about this. The BBC has barely mentioned it of course. This is the start of the police state.
