Everyone who buys a mobile telephone will be forced to register their identity on a national database under government plans to extend massively the powers of state surveillance.

A compulsory national register for the owners of all 72m mobile phones in Britain would be part of a much bigger database to combat terrorism and crime. Whitehall officials have raised the idea of a register containing the names and addresses of everyone who buys a phone in recent talks with Vodafone and other telephone companies, insiders say.
The move is targeted at monitoring the owners of Britain’s estimated 40m prepaid mobile phones.

Ministers are considering spending up to £12 billion on a database to monitor and store the internet browsing habits, e-mail and telephone records of everyone in Britain.

GCHQ, the government’s eavesdropping centre, has already been given up to £1 billion to finance the first stage of the project.

Yesterday, the first worldwide protests against surveillance measures such as the collection of all telecommunications data, the surveillance of air travellers and the biometric registration of citizens were held under the motto "Freedom not Fear - Stop the surveillance mania!". In at least 15 countries citizens demanded a cutback on surveillance, a moratorium on new surveillance powers and an independent evaluation of existing surveillance powers. "A free and open society cannot exist without unconditionally private spaces and communications", explains an international memorandum.

Welcome to Police State Britain.
 
In the 1970/80s if you went into belfast city center you had to go thought a check point. Every one was seached on the way in and out, it was in effect a police state. All over NI you could be stop, seached and that included your home. The thing is the state was not after joe the plummer it was after joe the bomber and it was joe the bomb/shooter that the state targeted. Joe the plummer just got on with his life the best he could with no problem with the state. Other than the odd search or road check point. If you have nothing to hind you have nothing to worry about other than what joe the bombers has planned for you.

Do you work for the BBC? Because you sound like one of there drones.
