Naked body scanners: Health risks being quietly discussed, but hey - Carry On Scanning, New Labour!

The excellent Big Brother Watch is flagging up a report on airport naked body scanners by the Inter-Agency Committee on Radiation Safety - the content of which is being reported by Bloomberg.

According to the Bloomberg story, the report warns that: "Governments must justify the additional risk posed to passengers, and should consider 'other techniques to achieve the same end without the use of ionizing radiation'."

Bloomberg also state: "European Union regulators plan to finish a study in April on the effects of scanning technology on travelers’ privacy and health."

Which figures. Why wait for the European Empire to report on such a trivial matter?

Under the totalitarian New Labour regime which surrendered the people's sovereignty without our consent, we have to do everything in this country that the European Empire tells us... except on matters involving civil liberties. On these, the tyrannical New Labour Government simply ignores rulings from the European Court of Human Rights or tries to work out sneaky dodges to get around rulings.

They simply carry on, no matter what the European Court of Human Rights tells them.

But any other ruling from the European Empire - New Labour submit and surrender our sovereignty, democracy and independence at every opportunity.

Now it's New Labour tyranny and degradation - and to hell with the risks to our health.

A recent report revealed that portable naked body scanners for the high street are being developed in the Netherlands.

'We are New Labour and you will get naked for our photo booths now! It's for your safety! (...unless the radiation gives you cancer, but we're keeping quiet about that).'

Forever... Diana

...genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum.

"And when I look at people in public life... I'm not a political animal but I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved, and I know that I can give love - for a minute, for an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I'm very happy to do that and I want to do that."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"I think the British people need someone in public life to give affection, to make them feel important, to support them, to give them light in their dark tunnels. I see it as a possibly unique role, and yes, I've had difficulties, as everybody has witnessed over the years, but let's now use the knowledge I've gathered to help other people in distress."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity, a standard-bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a truly British girl who transcended nationality."
- Earl Spencer

"..she was our guardian, friend and protector. She never once allowed her unfaltering love for us to go unspoken or undemonstrated. She will always be remembered for her amazing public works. But behind the media glare, to us, just two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world."
- Prince Harry

The People's Sovereignty

"...our membership of the European Union has removed our democracy; it has taken away the right of the British people to elect and dismiss those who make their laws. Our system of representative parliamentary democracy, for which millions have died over hundreds of years, has been frittered away. It no longer serves the people. That is why the time has come to give power back to the people. They deserve it anyway; it is their power and it belongs to them. Before long their anger will overflow if they do not get it back."

- Former UKIP leader Lord Pearson in the House of Lords, 5th February 2009

British resistance and liberty

"We British have in a very special way contributed to Europe. Over the centuries we have fought to prevent Europe from falling under the dominance of a single power. We have fought and we have died for her freedom. Only miles from here, in Belgium, lie the bodies of 120,000 British soldiers who died in the First World War.

Had it not been for that willingness to fight and to die, Europe would have been united long before now - but not in liberty, not in justice. It was British support to resistance movements throughout the last War that helped to keep alive the flame of liberty in so many countries until the day of liberation."

- Margaret Thatcher, Bruges, 1992
