BBC Phones ?????

The BBC's phones (central nervous system) has ALWAYS been privatised.

Actually the BBC's ENTIRE phone system was run perfectly fine AND cheaply (just ONE person and assistant did ALL the remote cofiguration of the numbers in the entire system), by Ericssons / Damovo right up until the Siemens Contract for their massive private Network of MD110's.

Shame they didn't think about 'You don't know what you got till it's gone'.

Anyone in the Comms business know that Siemens have never run managed phone Contracts in the UK.

A clear case of BBC NOT doing 'Due Diligence' on a prospective Contractor.

Police have more than 10,000 ANPR cameras

Don't believe it !!!!

What a load of cobblers !!!!

I can assure you peeps that fixed ANPRs are used for FACIAL recognition.

Ever hear the cops say 'associated' with this bloke or that ?

Yup that's what they are for. They are not interested in your motor; it's your FACE they are after which is matched instantly to a digital photo from your passport, driving licence, Govt ID card etc.

This is then plotted against your car and your Mobiles' Geolocation to show where you have been. I've seen the printouts.

This bunch have got the processing power to do it AND they use it.

Be VERY afraid.

Start wearing Burkas or balaclavas in yer cars to keep them away from your front door at 6 AM. and take your Mobile battery OUT when not in use. It can be switched on remotely at will for tracking.
