So I wanted to open a discussion on Low Profile Living both in terms of our property and in personal terms.

Here's my starter for ten. (err six)


1. Remove yourself from Facebook
2. When visiting the web, use TOR or some other anonymiser
3. If you are really doing things that HMG would disapprove, then use an internet cafe taking great care of CCTV
4. Use CASH
5. If you have to use a debit card then use one of those that you buy in the shops without ID
6. Get another cheapo mobile phone. Pay Cash. Pay for top up by cash. Do not register it. An alternative is "Spare One" which is pricey at £50 but unlike any other phone, works off a single AA battery. No Text. No visuals - just a very dumb phone but if you keep it in your bag for emergencies, the battery will last 15 years.

1. Remove yourself from Facebook (Done three years ago)
2. When visiting the web, use TOR or some other anonymiser (I do google searches logged out and change my URL frequently by turning off my home hub for 24 hours, when I turn it back on BT usually has given my URL to another new customer)
3. If you are really doing things that HMG would disapprove, then use an internet cafe taking great care of CCTV ( or stay legal for now and just makes notes about useful things for after when TSHTF)
4. Use CASH ( yup and shop in multiple stores)
5. If you have to use a debit card then use one of those that you buy in the shops without ID ( God your good woman , I'm impressed)
6. Get another cheapo mobile phone. Pay Cash. Pay for top up by cash. Do not register it. An alternative is "Spare One" which is pricey at £50 but unlike any other phone, works off a single AA battery. No Text. No visuals - just a very dumb phone but if you keep it in your bag for emergencies, the battery will last 15 years. ( I just keep my old mobile and use light code to text)

Damn good post missie
