Further to my previous posts [1], [2], [3] on this subject, I was searching for some related info when I came across this on the BBC‘s Breakfast web site.
In a series of online reports BBC reporter Susannah Streeter looks at various aspects of the UK Surveillance Society. Some very interesting points raised here.
Add to this a news item yesterday(16th) related to the recent Tesco bomb story where some more letters turned up late due to the recent UK postal strike, some at UK radio stations.
The TV report showed that the police were taking DNA swabs of the UK radio staff for ‘elimination’ from their enquiries! I wonder how many of those swabbed realise that their DNA will be kept on the police DNA national database for at least the next 10 years even though they have done nothing wrong!
