observer Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 If the State Security Services entered your house in the night, bagged all your personal correspondence and stored it away for 30 days; but with the clear condition that they wouldn't read any of it - would you be angry? Well, it seems, that's what GCHQ are doing with your electronic mail ! Time for an independent regulator to exercise some over-sight or what? Ooops forgot, they had that with the CQC checking on the NHS, didn't quite work did it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Funnily enough we have a facebook account & when our computer is turned on at the start of our day facebook takes quite a bit longer to load up than it used to. I wonder if that due to GCHQ giving us the once over. Incidentally we are not using the Royal "we" in this post. Has anyone else come across this problem ?

Davy51 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 RE the CQC ,it really is amazing & the stuff of comedy if it wasn't so disgusting ,that the ombudsman is just as corrupt as the body it is monitoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 If the state security want to bag all my personal correspondence and store it for thirty days then they are welcome. save a bit of room in the recycle bin as most of it is telling me how to save money on my car/bike/house/life insurance, get the cheapest broadband/tv/phone/mobile rates or order the best indian/chinese/english/polish/italian takeaways. Not too different to what I get on the internet spam filters really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Settle Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Why don't they simply sign up are moderators - how much would you charge Dizzy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Why don't they simply sign up are moderators - how much would you charge Dizzy? Definitely way more than they would be willing to pay Geoffrey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 On the same theme: seems if you complain to the Police about your son being killed; they will investigate you, rather than the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I would imagine in the case of a child (or anyone of any age) being murdered Obs the Police would investigate every associated person and angle they could think of and that would obviously include immediate family too I guess (but then again I don't know exactly what you are referring to as you haven't been specific... nowt new there then with your posts though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 In case of sudden death in any case the police treat everyone, especially close family, as suspects. Even to the extent of arresting close members of the family as a precaution. I speak from experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Can see why they do it Asp, even though you know you are innocent it must be quite a frightening position to be in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 To be fair they did explain it at the time, but even so it seemed that they were looking for an easy "out". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I get shivers just thinking about it. Ill be honest I think I would be terrified. When I read your post I started to think about the Guildford 4, The Birmingham 6, and the terrifying thought of the Lt Kije 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 That must have been awful Asp (even with the explanation why). Like Lt says it must be very frightening and very hard indeed to go through that when at the same time you are grieving the sudden loss of a close family member or friend but wondering what 'could' happen to you too if someone somewhere (police or media) happens to piece the bits together incorrectly before realising their mistake.

observer Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I was actually thinking about the Lawrence case Diz; where it appears attempts were made to discredit the family. However, it would seem many murders do lead to members of the family, like the French Alpine shooting case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
