It seems the UK is on the best way to surveillance state on it’s best.

The new secretly made plans for improving the camera surveillance by using more flying drones and even 22m-long airships are of course not made to spy and control the British public, no they are needed to detect “thefts from cash  machines, preventing theft of tractors and monitoring antisocial driving… event security and covert urban surveillance”. I wonder if UK people really believing in there politicians or if it’s just lack of interest and ignorance.
And to destroy even the last doubt , the British government raised the terrorist threat level to ’severe’.

But one good thing in all this: Very soon the statistics for stolen tractors in London will be reduced to a minimum.

And, when you are next time approaching London-Heathrow don’t wonder when you look out the aircraft’s window.
