That is a bit worrying. Seem to remember reading somewhere that we actually have the most CCTV cameras per capita in the world.
That's one of those misleading 'facts' which annoys me a fair bit. There's was a good c4 fack check article about it somewhere... e: http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/society/factcheck+how+many+cctv+cameras/2291167.htmlI think that as far as civil liberties / privacy is concerned then cctv is a bit of a red herring. |

This thread reads more like the Daily Mail every day.
Maybe it's changed since I last saw it (I'm not a frequent reader of the Mail, due to having my own brain) but I'm pretty sure I'd have remembered a Paul Dacre op-ed piece on the decline of modern manners containing the clarion call line Ill trip you up next time you cunt and hopefully your fall flat on your face and break your nose
If there is stuff like that in there these days, I might give it another try |

Well there you go then. I do have a tendency to believe anything that confirms my disliking of the UK though. |

I was massaging my own ego and caught it on my razor sharp wit.

I just disbelieve anything. The way the media warps the perception of people compared to the reality is really fascinating. |

Well that's actually complete bollocks, I obviously believe some media over others. But it's very interesting how the usual suspects twist reports and surveys round to back up their editorial stance when in reality they are saying the complete opposite.

Quite similar to me really. I choose not to read/watch/listen to any news for much the same reason, as most people lap it up with glee and then argue about it, which to me is just absolutely absurd. We'd make wonderful babies Ben. |

Ive realised recently that if I have a political opinion it is one of anti orthodoxy. Particularly orthodoxy perpetuated by the media. Generally the population is led and spoon fed bullshit which they regurgitate as truth. Think for yourselves people don't let talksport do it for you.
