... when you look at how Blair wants to eradicate "antisocial behavior". Sounds more like a fascist state than a free democracy. I mean, it's not much: just label political leftists or environmentalists as antisocial and classify independent thinking as undesirable behavior. Surveillance and spying will soon be available:
That all this naturally also means more surveillance is made clear, among other things, by a pilot project in Shoreditch, a district of London. Here, a cable TV channel [extern] is set up that offers a broadband internet connection, a digital TV program, and numerous other services for a weekly fee of 5 euros. One of the main offers is access to the local 400 (!) surveillance cameras. Starting in March, the state-funded [extern] Shoreditch Digital Bridge will be opened for testing by 1,000 residents of two streets. Eventually, 20,000 households will be connected.
