The Home Secretary John Reid says that the system is not "secret surveillance" saying,
It's very public, it's interactive.Amazingly, he regards this as some sort of defence rather than a damning out of his own mouth.
Mr. Reid claims that the trade offs are well worth the candle and any fears of encroaching tyranny are mere paranoia because there is only a "minority who will be more concerned about what they claim are civil liberties intrusions". This is, of course, quite right. Why should the people have any fears as unseen, unaccountable eyes watch their every move from ubiquitous cameras and bark orders at them when they fail to follow the whimsical diktats of the Party? They should simply go about their lives in the comforting knowledge that people who know better than they will watch over them and save them from their fellow citizens or even themselves.
After all, what could possibly go wrong?
