Research 'Hitachi RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip'. They are already in your passports, pets, livestock, shipments, trackers etc. . . They are planning to propose that they are implanted into the population. These chips will be linked to every aspect of your lives, from health care records to purchases and wages. The possibilities are endless, as is the potential for abuse of this system and enslavement of the population. If you oppose the system - they'll just switch yours off.

Pay with cash. Don't trust technology. They are using it to enslave us.

i can't believe what i heard i laughed when i herd a TORY politician tried to IMPROVE our broadband

people of the uk the TORIES are the reason we have slow broadband, back in the late 70's early 80's BT were about to switch to fibre optic infrastructure but the TORIES vetoed the idea. it's the Tories fault that we ever had to use dial-up, it's the Tories fault we have ever had to use ADSL and it's the Tories fault that we are behind South Korea and not ahead of them in terms of broadband

Gardeners know a late frost can kill off early growth. It is the same in the first days of an economic upturn.Tories claim the proposed Labour rises in N I contributions will cost upwards of 57,000 jobs? They made similar claims about the minimum wage,they were wrong then and wrong now. Tory alternative is to raise VAT much higher than Labour might do it will serve to clobber the low paid.

Nothing fixes a thing so intensely in memory as the wish to forget it! we ain't forgotten the Tories

Jeremy talks about the opportunities Britain has because of the Internet, and especially it's ability to create amazing content -- all true.

But Jeremy has also gone on record as saying he wants to reduce the size of the BBC, 'tear up it's charter' and reduce it's funding. Given that the BBC is probably the leading creator of online British content, this would appear to be at odds with Jeremy's message here.

David Cameron, have you heard about the Venus Project?.

VOTE LABOUR

[autofreak7]

@kovacsgaga If there's one party that is suspected of stealing ideas from others because they are too incompetent to find some of their own, it must be Labour

Yes, BNP have got a truer message than any political party today. And notice it tends to be more North of England, and if you do not know what that means, you are IDIOTS, you southern shites! But I will be voting Labour.
