A series of policy
review documents have been published today by the
Cabinet Office of the British Government that detail Tony Blair's
desire to implement radical "crime tackling" measures
that would not look out of place in the most hellish of dictatorship
states on the face of the planet.
Blair has said that measures including microchipping the mentally
ill and injecting sex offenders with hormones to negate their
desires, so called "chemical castration", are aimed
at ensuring that a "new New Labour" agenda will take
the Government into the next election after he steps down.
Blair announced that the measures were intended to shake up a
public that are "getting bored" of the government.
One document, entitled Crime, Justice And Cohesion, says there
will have to be "trade-offs" between liberty and security
as technology and profiling are used to tackle crime.
The policy paper also calls for the possible implementation of
technology such as face and voice recognition, a DNA database,
identity cards, and satellite surveillance.
The papers come at a time when Blair is
fiercely defending plans to centralise data on all
citizens, calling it "sharing data in a sensible way so the
customer gets a better service", while critics and opposition
MPs are labeling it "a database from the cradle to the grave".

The plans for a central database are nothing new, we have previously
highlighted the long term agenda to centralise information
into one giant hub that will link into the already existing DNA
database and hook up to a national ID card.
Without ANY parliamentary debate or legislation, every person
in this country is being targeted for inclusion on a DNA database
from birth. Hundreds of thousands of children aged between 10
and 18 have
had their DNA added to the database despite never
being cautioned or charged for any offence.
The British government has also passed legislation to make every
offence arrestable. Under Section 44 of the Terrorism
Act, this includes not giving your details if stopped by police.
Every suspect arrested, even if proven innocent, has their DNA
added to the criminal database and stored forever
in perpetuity.
Meanwhile EU officials are crying out for a massive pan-European
network of DNA and fingerprint databases which would
also be open to the Department of Homeland Security in the US.
This does not bode well for anyone who values privacy given that
the UK, the most advanced big brother state, is also the biggest
critic of such a project.
Medical records would be stored on the database also, as well
as on an implantable chip that may be given to anyone considered
to be mentally unstable. Under the new mental health act you can
be sectioned for mild depression.
Take the recent case of Anna
McHugh, who visited her GP after a failed intensive
cycle of IVF treatment. She admitted that she was a little depressed
and needed some help.
Four hours later she found herself admitted to St Pancras Hospital.
Then, having admitted to the attending doctor that she had contemplated
suicide, she was sectioned under Section 5.2 of the Mental Health
Act and detained in a lock-down ward. When her husband tried to
rescue her, she was held in a headlock while a doctor discussed
her case with him.
In light of this and many other cases, is it so far fetched to
imagine people being forcibly implanted with microchips under
the mental health act?
The government doesn't seem to think so.
The paper also notes how Switzerland prescribes heroin rather
than the substitute methadone to addicts and prisoners in Texas
are forced to wear pink T-shirts to make them look gay.
Blair will be proud to see these things and more associated with
his legacy in Britain.
