Just in case anyone has forgotten, this starts from tomorrow.

So what is the best way to avoid this - in simple terms? I hear about proxy servers, but what I want is a guaranteed, cheap (ideally free) facility which stops these bastards in their tracks. Any ideas?

If you're going to look up some dodgy websites or Skype someone you didn't oughta then do it before midnight - or Jacqboots will be on your case.

pay as you go mobile broadband?

Make more than four visits to Guido Fawkes, Housepricecrash and No2ID in any one month or any visit to the BNP website and your profile will come up for review on an Home Office screen somewhere.

the home office will have an enormous list of people to review

They'll recruit a thousand-odd recent third-world immigrants to do it for them.

Is something going to be done about this? This corrupt government of ours, just seems to pass law after law, without being scrutinized.

It won't be long before, we will all have to take to the streets. Labour are just not taking any notice.

Who ever vote's Labour back in, serious needs shooting.

Try this.

Not perfect I know but every little helps

I'd enjoy that. They would learn how they are loosing so badly.

If you're taking the time and trouble to set up proxies, then do take a little time to write to your MP as well and complain about the snooping that annoyed you in the first place. As we saw with the now-withdrawn clause 152, writing to MPs really does work.

No; that's not how this works. ISPs must keep the data, which then needs to be specifically requested under RIPA. The RIPA powers are pretty unrestrained, and in particular permit self-authorisation. But this us not the same as being permitted to check who is doing a range of legal things

Actually I have recently got involved with a political party and I’m learning a great deal about this life of politics. One thing I see is that this country is very tribal, and that is reflected in the politics as well. My Tory MP needed very little encouragement, and a couple of letters and he was kind of pleased to hear from someone who agreed with him on these matters.

Others on here with Labour MPs have written countless letters, and all it does is rub them up the wrong way. You get the distinct impression that they know they are wrong, but have to say the party line because the boss orders them to think in that way.

So, I don’t quite know what this achieves apart from making them feel very uncomfortable. If the truth be known, it probably makes them into a nastier person, who, given the chance would most likely feel like taking revenge on those who make them feel so bad when they acquire more power, resulting from them sticking to the party line.

So these days I’m not relying on them to see sense. I really do believe it is the general public who are the ones we should be looking to. They hold the ultimate power, and if we can give them hope that resistance is not futile, then eventually these sticklers to the party line will become an historical curiosity. They only have power because people are willing to give it to them. In my book the only people that have real power are those who command the respect of the people and they are given support because the people like them enough to support them. If I had a Labour MP I’d get a huge big NO2ID banner and use it right at the point where he was trying to canvass electoral support or something like that. Remember, it’s the people that need to get the message, not the stooges. The stooges can be voted out.

Jihadwatch is another site they will be looking out for.

Another defence methodology.

Its not free. I'm using it now and just hoping that it's working ok.
Government....Stuff the lot of em.

Actually now they are recording it all this should work in our favour as the sheer scope of hardware needed will take its toll especially in a recession.

Was looking at a thread on the Digital Spy Forum on this subject, there were one or two post along the lines of 'I've got nothing to hide but this scares me'

It seems that once people realize that it's not just 'Bad People' who are being monitored they don't like it.

Agreed. I've had quite a few "surely that's not real/possible/etc?" responses from people who usually pay no heed to my warnings about civil liberties and privacy.
