Ew, I just upvoted Reagan. Wtf.

Wow, thank you for the detailed response!

That final article isn't quite relevant though and doesn't exactly instill confidence when it took 2 years and 108,000 searches (180 per day) before anything was done...

I'm glad to hear there's supposed to be some form of accountability, and checks and balances but we've seen throughout history that those sorts of checks are always open to abuse or intentionally ignored when it's convenient for the powers that be. You may have a benevolent police force just now but that doesn't guarantee anything in the future.

Mandatory government ID on your person at all times is still dystopian.

At all times? Even when pished at 3am stumbling home? That sounds rather dystopian and I say that living in the country with the most CCTV in the world.

Exactly, so complain to your MP, MSP, local councillors, and the Health Secretary to get it added to the NHS.

even if there was a small charge

Fuck. No. The whole point of the NHS is free at the point of service. We have already paid for it via taxation, fuck double dipping and incentivising privatisation of healthcare.

You need only look at America for the logical conclusion of that. Or look at England to see what half private half public gets you.

Healthcare is not a service only for the well off. Everyone requires it.

Well shit. Thanks for correcting me!

The head of the security service isn't just a meathead bit of heavy muscle there to jump in front of a bullet.

Martial law also isn't some obscure policy, it's an internationally understood term that replaces the democratic civilian parliament with military rule.

This is definitely something someone in his position should be very aware of and should be willing to do something about.
