This is the official blog of ex-Sgt Ellie Bloggs. I was a real live police constable then sergeant for twelve years, on the real live front line of England. I'm now a real live non-police person. All the facts I recount are true, and are not secrets. If they don't want me blogging about it, they shouldn't do it. PS If you don't pay tax, you don't (or didn't) pay my salary.

Wasn't he Fired?

Have I missed something? When did David Blunkett get reinstated as Home Secretary?

Today he is sounding off against microphoned CCTV and he has thrown in the name of a famous novel - which shows how much he means it. I would have thought Blunkett of all people would be ecstatic to think that finally he could gain some benefit from secret cameras, but apparently this idea is slipping over "the edge".

This is from a man who brought us Force Mergers and the three digit non-emergency national number for the police which will apparently be in use by the end of 2006. He is also the guy responsible for the fact that I cannot file any job and will receive an email every day until I have ticked a little box which says that I have told the victim we will never catch the person who stole their hedge.

The idea that triggered his tirade is directional microphones to monitor conversations taking place in crowds during the Olympics. Yet again the government has managed to come up with an idea that will spawn conspiracy theories among those who think the police have nothing better to do than sit around listening to people's private lives. My biggest worry is the suggestion that a "senior officer" will be needed to authorise the use of this system. This means yet another Chief Inspector being seconded from my force and will lead to an inexperienced sergeant taking over as inspector and someone like PC Bloggs becoming sergeant. My day will come...

What amazes me about the whole thing is:
A) We have microphones that can record from 100m away.
B) Someone seems to think the system will be working and switched on when it is actually needed.

David "Mastermind"
Blunkett mentioned "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, which is a classic British science fiction novel which describes a dystopian society ruled by human eugenics and genetic manipulation etc.

It is not George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty Four", which is a classic British science fiction which describes a dystopian society ruled via telescreens and the "Big Brother is Watching You" slogan.

On a Sunday I no longer buy the papers or listen to the news and comment programmes. Sunday seems to be the day when they announce the stupidest, fantastical, farcical, lunatic (add your own adjectives) schemes, plans, refinements etc. They get eveeryone stirred up, paper editorials and then all day Monday the news is full of these madcap schemes, and by the end of the week they're almost forgotten. But they've succeeded in diverting attention to the real stories about how this country is finished and going down the pan, with the political elite grazing offf the rest of us. Yesterdays was the break up of the UK - AGAIN! AS if any of us could be bothered to vote in a referundum about it. Now the death penalty, immigration policy and the future of the Green Belt? We'll never get referanda on those.

1000 metres plus is the current standard, but in fact the satellites (up there in orbit, you know) can also determine what you are saying.

And if you carry a mobile 'phone, then the world knows your secrets, without needing to use satellites.
(Whether the 'phone is on or off.)

You crack me up! haha! Your comment about the things actually being working and turned on when they are needed hits the nail on the head. Oh, and don't forget, someone has to actually listen to them in real time, too.

Watching... yes I noticed that too. I imagine he just didn't want to sound cliched by saying "Big Brother"

Frankly I find the idea hilarious.

Who will be tasked with handling any intelligence that is gathered?

We'd better hope and pray it is not DIUs, because most divisions are having a hard enough time getting their yellows typed up.

May I propose the services of Clare Short as a bikini clad speed control model please. I have over-eaten in Broad street tonight and need a decent emetic.
