GVP #094 - Pippa King - Biometrics and Surveillance

The creepy world of Big Brother Society and the UK's unsettling surveillance state come under the spotlight, as guest Pippa King explains how she became an activist against plans to subject schoolchildren to fingerprinting and biometric procedures. She explains how these plans - now thankfully headed off in the UK due to the vigilance of the parent groups she helped galvanise - play their part in the much bigger picture of state-sponsored spying. 'Smart' cities, CCTV, motorway Average Speed Cameras and technology-equipped cars come under scrutiny, all of which are paving the way for a complete Transhumanist society where technology rules every aspect of our daily lives … unless more activism takes place and large numbers of people exercise their right to say no to this unfolding Orwellian nightmare.
