Irish Times: Psychiatric patients still given ECT treatment without consent *
PATIENTS INVOLUNTARILY detained in psychiatric hospitals last year received hundreds of treatments of electric shock therapy against their will.
Official statistics compiled for the first time show that about 400 psychiatric patients received 2,700 electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) treatments during 2008.

BBC The Trap: What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom (film) *
Is a BBC documentary series by English filmmaker Adam Curtis, well known for other documentaries including The Century of the Self and The Power of Nightmares. It began airing in the United Kingdom on BBC Two on 11 March 2007.
The series consists of three one-hour programmes which explore the concept and definition of freedom, specifically, “how a simplistic model of human beings as self-seeking, almost robotic, creatures led to today’s idea of freedom.”

Equality snoopers to keep files on your sexuality
People will be routinely asked to answer sensitive questions about their sexuality so a Government quango can compile a massive ‘equalities’ database, it emerged last night.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission is to take information given in confidence by millions and place it on a huge ‘Lifestyle Database’.
It will draw information from sources including visits to A&E departments, government surveys and the reporting of crimes to police.
In order for bureaucrats to measure whether gay or straight citizens are suffering greater ‘inequality’, the EHRC said everybody should be asked to provide information about their sexual identity.
They will be asked if they are heterosexual/straight, gay/lesbian, bisexual or other.
Campaigners said the establishment of the ‘Big Brother’ database - which will be available on the quango’s website - would alarm the public.
