STS Bulletin no.19
Our BBC local radio station has a daily feature called "Mad World". This is usually a snigger at regular right wing targets, health and safety, human rights, "political correctness". It probably goes down well among those types who decry the "nanny state" but are currently demanding that the government pays their mortgage.
Anyway today's story was about Leicestershire County Council fitting "sat navs" to lawn mowers. However, a statement by a council representative made it obvious that these devices are no such thing. They are instruments for spying on employees; checking on their whereabouts and the time they take on jobs (though he didn't say so in so many words). The use of the term "sat nav" is clearly a cover-up. Needless to say it fooled the bloodhounds of the British media. Have a laugh and move on to the next silly story.
