Not being content with all the other databases that they want to build, all the other forms of intrusion on our lives, it seems that the government now wants to make it illegal for anyone to own an un-registered mobile phone.

(NSFW language, and all the better for it.) The sooner we get rid of this bunch of totalitarian dick-wads the better as far as I am concerned. Even the Conservatives must be a better short term solution that this collection of awful, utter, utter, utter, c***s.
