No, no!  You've got it all wrong!   It's not the government using monitors and kitty cams to survey us - it's the cats themselves!

It is a fact that the UK government has been headed for many years by a large black and white tom called Humphrey.  (A short history follows)

Humphrey, one of the most famous British cats, has resided at No.10 Downing Street since 1989.  He is a civil servant and his official title is Chief Mouser to The Cabinet Office. He wanders freely between No.10 and No.11 and attends every cabinet meetings. He even featured on last year's official Cabinet Office Christmas card. In 1995, he disappeared for 3 months and it was thought that he was inadvertently posted to the Royal Army Medical College as he slept in a Government mail van. He succeeded Wilberforce who resided in Downing Street for 14 years until 1988.

Naturally, his absence on official business in 1995 was just a smoke screen.  In fact, he was in highly secret conferences with M15 and Microsoft planning infiltrate our homes via our PCs and domestic pets.   The only way to confuse this invidious invasion of the kitties is to don a cat mask before accessing your computer.  That way, they believe it is their own agents reporting in and relax their surveillance!
