London is huge, there's nowhere near total surveillance. There's an abundance of CCTV in many areas of central London, and throughout the tube network, but it's very patchy elsewhere in the city.
- Tloewald 11y agoYou're right -- it's the "square mile" in particular that's under massive surveillance. But that's "The City of London". The point is that claiming the UK doesn't do mass surveillance is hilarious. They just haven't had a Snowden yet.
