it's sad that the solution for this society problems are cameras in your place.
that you are thankfull for this total surveillance is fucked up.
I hope UK leaves EU soon. it is a rotten place and we should prevent it's dystopian development to spread.
- wumbernang 11y agoWe are indeed a rotten place but its not because of CCTV and surveillance. This is just a symptom of deeper problems in society.
- mercurial 11y agoThe EU have nothing to do with that. Hell, I don't think even the foaming-at-the-mouth UKIP eurosceptics try to claim the UK turned into a surveillance society due to the EU. Neither did the EU ask the UK to lead the global surveillance efforts in Europe through GCHQ. Not to mention the fact that it is David Cameron himself who is trying to get out of the EU's human rights framework.
- jon-wood 11y agoI may be wrong, but I read GP as being a citizen of some other EU country wanting rid of the UK. And I can hardly blame them, even as a UK citizen. Our government shows an utter disdain for Europe, mostly so that they can use it as yet another bogeyman to distract people from everything they're doing.
- mercurial 11y agoOh, indeed, this makes sense. Well, if that makes you feel better, most EU countries seem to be on the same nefarious track when it comes to global surveillance, and I don't see this kind of cooperation change in the future, whether or not there is a Brexit.
- ionised 11y agoThe EU is the only thing stopping the UK surveillance state becoming even worse.
- andygates 11y agoThat's not a solution, it just moves the problem along. Actually, if you define the solution narrowly as "undesirables on my doorstep" I suppose it is a solution; but since the wider problem is resolved by reducing the pool of undesirables for any doorsteps, only in the very narrowest sense.
