Hot on the heels of Nick Cleggs ID card truths I found this piece.
As dark and more funny, probably.
Probably just as true, probably.
The artists in me smiles at the serendipitous confluence of links. Nothing else about either piece is even slightly amusing.

Nick Clegg talks frightening sense about ID Cards.

the remorseless creep of state control

Here is the Google Map which started the whole idea for this blog.

I started this blog by recording and attempting to show some of the ways in which the activity of the State is affecting you and yours in the brave new world of UK State Fascism from the tragic extreme of Jean Charles de Menezes to the surreal yet still very scary.

I am no longer updating the map as the madness of worldwide state and corporate control has sped away from my ability to keep up.

I am however morphing the posts into an ongoing series of creative pieces, taking original news from elsewhere and changing it in various ways - Serious Comment Through Artistic Intervention - find my favourites under the List of Rants tags.

Flip Flops, where one part, a name for instance, of two wildly different posts are swapped.

At A Quick Glance, where the first impression of what has been posted is different from the reality, but I go with the first impression anyway.

Future News where I take a post from elsewhere and extend it into the future with a quizzical eye attempting to see what may be in the year 2024.

State sponsored fear and distrust as seen through the twisted technological lens of petty officials and would be bureaucrats exist worldwide now. Always Ask Them Why.

It is increasingly difficult to explain just why 'you' should be concerned about State and Corporate Control and the all pervasive creeping Data State when talking to friends and acquaintances, whose first question has been along the lines of "How will all this affect me? Why should I and my family be concerned about all that?"

The presumption is that only terrorists or criminals need be afraid and that none of the radical changes to our laws and freedoms now coming to fruition will affect me will they?

Yes they will. They already are.

I have stopped updating the map but it remains out there in the world as a idiosyncratic memory. Enjoy.
