How Governments Are Regaining Control
Summary:
The UK Government has enforced a smoking ban in all enclosed public and work spaces to ensure a safe working environment, though the House of Commons remains exempt. This exclusion highlights governmental hypocrisy: "Do as I say, not as I do." Similarly, the government has pushed for ID cards, shifting justifications from terrorism to ID fraud. These legislative efforts are part of a broader attempt to regain control over the population, reflecting how communication advancements have diminished governmental authority.Article Body:
The UK Government has successfully enforced a smoking ban in all enclosed public places and workplaces, aiming to provide a safe environment for workers nationwide. Interestingly, the House of Commons is excluded from this ban, presumably because it's not open to the public?"or so it seems. This exception exemplifies the government's hypocrisy: they impose rules on others while exempting themselves, suggesting an attitude of "Do as I say, not as I do." While restricting public wages is deemed necessary for the economy, the government has no qualms about granting themselves significant raises.Moreover, the government has pushed forward with ID cards, altering the rationale from combating terrorism and illegal immigration to preventing ID fraud. The prevalence of identity theft seems overstated; it appears the government itself is more adept at assuming various roles, depending on what they aim to legislate next.
This wave of legislation across the Western world seems to stem from a desire to regain control over the populace. Previously, dissenters faced threats of eternal damnation, a method rendered obsolete by the Church's modern approach. Now, instant global communication keeps everyone informed, further eroding governmental control?"except perhaps in countries like China.
Suggestions have even been made to install chips in cars for constant tracking. Rather than relying on ID cards, the government could implant chips directly into individuals, allowing for increased surveillance and identity verification. Visitors could receive temporary chips, enabling authorities to easily scan and identify those without them, potentially detaining them for extended periods.
Interestingly, these trends seem to have begun with the ban on fox hunting. Occasionally, the overwhelming control feels too much, prompting thoughts of relocating. Yet, this seems to be a sweeping phenomenon across the Western world, appearing unstoppable.
