Well folks. Here it comes. The reason why I write about the U.K and their insane policies is because they are as close to us as anyone in the world. I believe that the Obama administration and many other leftists in this country look at the U.K as a testing ground for new policies here in the United States. Global warming, economic policies, immigration policies, etc.

Well, here is one that I find very disturbing because Obama, as we all know, is a nutso when it comes to this whole “global warming” sham.

In the U.K, the government is now spying on their own citizens with aircraft fitted with thermal imaging cameras to be able to map out neighborhoods and homes of PRIVATE citizens on their energy usage. Of course, if you are using too much energy, you can expect a knock on the door from the local energy council and politely let you know that you are contributing to the horror of wasting energy and therefore destroying the world.

Now snooping on the public has reached new heights with local authorities putting spy planes in the air to snoop on homeowners who are wasting too much energy.

Thermal imaging cameras are being used to create colour-coded maps which will enable council officers to identify offenders and pay them a visit to educate them about the harm to the environment and measures they can take.

A scheme is already under way in Broadland District Council in Norfolk, which has spent £30,000 hiring a plane with a thermal imaging camera.

It said the exercise has been so successful other local authorities are planning to follow suit.

But critics have warned the crackdown was another example of local authorities extending their charter to poke their noses into every aspect of people’s lives.

Broadland, which covers towns including Aylsham, Reepham and Acle, hired the plane from a Leicestershire-based company for five days at the end of January.

The aircraft took images of homes and businesses, with those losing the most heat showing up as red, while better insulated properties appear blue.

The council’s head of environmental services, Andy Jarvis, said the original plan was to target businesses but it was realised the scope could be extended to include residental properties.

‘The project we put together was for a plane to go up on various nights flying strips of the district and taking pictures,’ he said.

‘Through those images, a thermal image photograph can be created in which you can pick out individual properties which are losing a lot of heat.

‘We do a lot on domestic energy conservation already and realised it would be useful to see if any of the homes which were particularly hot were properties where people had not insulated their lofts.

‘We were also able to look at very cold properties and think we might have picked up people on low incomes who are not heating their homes because they cannot afford to.’

Is that not amazing? In a huge worldwide recession, these nuts would rather spend money on spying on their own citizens than actually doing something good.

Well, I guess the lefties do think this is good and that is why Liberalism is a sickness!

Like I said back in the fall, these people will not be goosestepping down your street. They will be coming with clipboards and knocking on your door and telling you how to live your life.
