The "surging seas are coming for us all", UN chief Antonio Guterres warned last week. The only solution is to send him lots of money. Give me a break, says Chris Morrison: there's no evidence sea levels are rising fast.

another reason to vote no

category international | eu | news report author Saturday May 17, 2008 12:36author by F.E.M. - F.E.M. Report this post to the editors

they see, they hear, they spy.

Dutch minister Hirsch Ballin wants txt, telephone conversations and emails that people send in the Netherlands and from and to the Netherlands to be kept for 18 months on file instead of the 6 months it is currently kept for. The law on the protection of privacy is outweighed by the need for protection of the state they conclude. The new European law states that the states will have to keep the conversations on file for more than lf a year. Another reason to vote no to the treaty.

Actually Ireland has studiously avoided passing data retention legislation, allowing the Gardai completely unacceptable continued "informal" use of anti-terrorism legislation to view anything up to six years old - far more than the Netherlands - and without court orders.

Of course the Lisbon Treaty makes no difference whatsoever to the implementation of acceptable data retention legislation, to which Ireland is already committed, has failed to implement and has been censured internally (by the Data Commissioner) and externally. Much like the failure to implement workers' rights and environmental protection.

"What I am about to tell you is controlled unclassified information enhanced with specified dissemination."

The European Union or 'Europe' as it likes to be called, is only mimicing the US and Ireland of course is quite directly controlled by the US in many areas of policing and security.
