Well UK, It must be fun living in a real life "V For Vandetta". Drones unleashed

That's British slang for "This is most likely not even based on facts".

As the comedian Russell Howard puts it, the average Daily Mail headline is:
"DON'T GO OUTSIDE! It's full of queers, blacks and crime! Oh, if only Diana were here."

Which shows exactly how seriously that paper should be taken.

Sorry to be picky but I think he actually made that joke about the Daily Express funny joke all the same

I also appreciate the Accidental Pun there.

Yeah. I, as a pedantic MTW nerd, would like to point out that the Daily Mail tend to go "ASBOs Muslims speed cameras speed cameras ASBOs Muslims speed cameras speed cameras".

But...though I'm inclined to take this with a pinch of salt the size of a polar bear, I am now 2% more scared.

The attitude of the quote applies to nearly al ltabloids though.

I hope it isn't a lie. Cutting down on crime is always a good thing. I have nothing to hide as I don't commit crime!

 

[Ultracake]

Oh fuck you Britain!

*Starts boarding up his doors and windows*

Soon i won't be able to step outside without being arrested

 

[Loves2spooge]

I'm sorry, wasn't the US the first country to "OK" telephone surveillance and email screening?

I'd rather have some floating camera over me than someone reading my hate mail and hearing my prank calls to the Daily Mail...

Military-style spy planes 'to be used to target civilians in the UK'

By Daily Mail Reporter

I read there and stopped. Nothing good has ever come from that source.

Also wouldn't 1984 be a better choice than V for Vendetta? It's simpler, easily recognizable, and these situations are referred to as "Orwellian."

That's what I was thinking as soon as I started reading

 

[Fniff]

AAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

1984!

Oh, wait. I live in Ireland.

Ah.

You know you lose all credibility when you make a typing error in the topic title.

This, oh-so-very-much. 1984 comparsion is much more fitting and appropriate.

I have nothing to hide as I don't commit crime!

Did you ever have any, any criticisms against existing gonverment? Will you ever have them? If yes, you are commiting a crime. A crime of thought.

 

[SextusMaximus]

It's not on the BBC so as of yet, I'm not believing it.

 

[Phenakist]

Don't forget to add the underage drinking, terrible chart music which gets considered good, terrible pop culture, chavs... everything...

Well, if the Daily Mail says it is bad. It must be good. That's how things work in the UK.

I for one shall be welcoming the drones!

Hehehehe...

[small]I for one, welcome our drone overlords![/small]

It's a step towards Deus Ex: Invisible War

 

[Nickolai77]

For monitering public events, the drones would be useful, especially when it comes to tracking suspects through a dense crowd. Not so sure about their use on ordinary streets though, wouldn't it be simpiler and cheaper just to have an ordinary CCTV camera over watching a cash point, rather than a multi million pound spy plane?

I got as far as Daily Mail and my built-in bullshit filter prevented me from reading any further.
