Classic British Flight Sim

I have often said that "The Fifth Element" was the scariest film I'd seen.
For those unfamiliar, the whole World was controlled by a businessman; his organisation decided who worked, had accommodation, etc.
Last night's documentary showed us that that future is here, except instead of the manic businessman, it's a totalitarian government.
We all trade with them, and some of their own people don't mind being tracked 24/7, because it makes them feel "safe".
The facial recognition cameras let the powers know who you meet, where you shop, whether you are pro - government. Anyone who does not meet the required credit rating has their rights curtailed. A reporter who spoke against the powers had his social media account blocked; whenever he opens a new one, they find it and block it too. He can't even buy a fast train ticket.
Oh, and these people run some Australian power stations and have their security cameras in Defence premises.

The Chinese are already doing some of these things.

Yes, Brian,
That's what the programme was about.

Frightening when you think about it but isn't this what communist leaders want...........Total control not only over their country but also their people.

Thank goodness that I am in a country that allows you freedom to move and speak your mind without fear of a knock on the door past midnight!!
