Just so YOU know - we in the UK understand one important matter - anything printed in the Daily Mail or the Sun is to be read as complete fiction, I even break out the Daily Mail when I want to laugh. Their best heading was "Diana was alive before she was Dead! Get the inside news on this new piece of information!"Pandairon said:
you can now have hawk men and be like Brian BlessdMana Fiend said:Yeah, as said by nearly every post here, the Daily Mail isn't the most trusted of sources...
Though if it is true, it'll finally give me my chance to train my army of Hawks.
HAWKMEN DIVE!
ot: Daily mail is probably the funniest paper ever to read due to it being ridiculously over top and scaremongering. (it just does'nt have a page 3, makes me sad.)
I can't agree anymore with that comment if I wanted to. Dumb thread based on propaganda ads. I wonder, is Oprah really an Alien as well? Was Angelina Jolie really a savior from another time sent back to stop our wicked ways? Perhaps Obama really is the Anti-Christ, good god the possibilities are endless.Skarin said:
The Daily Mail is full of shit, everyone who writes for it needs to be severely beaten and anyone who even considers believing the garbage they read in it needs some sense knocked into them.Pandairon said:

"GORDON'S ALIVE?!"
But yeah, I imagine the Daily Mail's page 3 would consist of some mid-60's WI lady presenting you with cakes.
As everyone has said, it's the Daily Mail so take it with a pinch of salt. However if it does transpire to be true the drone will be so expensive I'd imagine it would only be used for high profile events, like large demonstrations and sports events, and that's a good thing. Allowing the police to get a better picture of those kind of events could lead to more effective policing which benefits everyone present.
Why does everyone point to the Daily Mail and say it's not true? I understand that it's a tabloid, but I was aware that the UK gov was planning to do this since I was at Uni there 3 years ago. They were preparing for this for the 2012 Olympics and there were massive debates about whether or not they would stay up there; all sings suggesting that they would.
It's in The Guardian as well as someone pointed out. Here's the link to yesterday's article [http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/jan/23/cctv-sky-police-plan-drones].
I also remember something that was a hot topic while I was a resident of the big island. Download and read the 2006 Surveillance Society Report [http://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documents/library/data_protection/practical_application/surveillance_society_full_report_2006.pdf](PDF). If you can't be arsed, at least go over part C/1 "A Week in the Life of the Surveillance Society". It explains better than I ever can why this move is not purely a good thing, for those who are so eager to embrace it.

I love how our government and councils are Orwellian, but only in ways that are incredibly petty. Kinda makes the whole thing funny.
Now America, sure they got inalienable rights, but they also have stuff like the patriot act. THAT is scary.
P.S. Daily Mail isn't as bad as some people here are making out. This sort of thing (in the story) has been happening for years anyway, so most papers won't touch it cos it's old news.

Wow, looks like Britain is getting those flying camera drone things from Half-Life 2! Damn, it's not fair living in Australia, we always get technology decades after Europe, Asia and the US. Our far more boring spy cameras are still stuck to corners of walls with little mirrored dome things over them.

Daily Mail. That entire publication exists to boil right wing blood. Not a reliable source for ANY information. Think of it as the UK's Fox.
Q: If this project actually see's fruition will they be allowed to film children, cos filming children without the parents permission is illegal in the UK iirc.
So glad I read the Times rather then that piece of crap.
Slightly offtopic but that man is awesome incarnate.
