Updated: Error with numbers of British spy cameras fixed.
CCTV boom ‘failing to cut crime’ reports the BBC.
Dear old BBC. Forgetful as ever. They forget to say CCTV fails to PREVENT crime, for it is crime prevention that is the spy-mad supporters most widely voiced selling point.
And poor old BBC, how they are falling of fact lean times. They report… “Britain had more cameras than any other European country“, oh dear. Lets help them shall we?
Does Britain have more spy cameras than countries in Asia? – YES!
Does Britain have more spy cameras than Australia/NZ? – YES!
South American countries? – YES.
Oceania?, Antarctica, anywhere? inc. North America with the possible exception of the US? – YES!!! Not just European countries but probably EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD! But Let’s not be stingy on our assistance here. Let’s help them some more: Britain has more CCTV cameras per head of population than any country in the world.
Credit where credit is due. At least the BBC posts the story.
There it is then. CCTV fails to cut crime, therefore fails to prevent crime. But so what? Such arguments points won’t stop us from having MORE cctv, and more technology that can identify you simply by your gait. {The University of Southampton has around 20 full time PhD students working on biometrics, including gait. Professor Mark Nixon, currently working alongside around 300 fellow biometrics pioneers on an ‘Encyclopaedia of Biometrics’} See “Walk this way” on Soton’s site. The bloody short sighted idiots.
The more data one accumulates, the more likely it is to be stolen. And if you, like me, believe persistent elements of this government have used ‘false flag’ terrorism, this very easily faked ‘evidence’ should send shivers down your spine.
RESIST GOOD PEOPLE. RESIST.
