Also, how can you Englishmen take being spied on all the time? I heard there are cameras everywhere. The governments of the world are getting too strong. We need to limit our governments before they limit us.


The camera thing is a myth.

"British people are living in greater fear of crime than any other European nation, an anxiety that is fuelling the massive increase in closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras, a two-year study has revealed."

"Fears that the UK would "sleep-walk into a surveillance society" have become a reality, the government's information commissioner has said."

"We have more CCTV cameras and we have looser laws on privacy and data protection."

"There are up to 4.2m CCTV cameras in Britain - about one for every 14 people."

I assume BBC is a reputable source right? Maybe they are just really good at hiding them?
