Slashdot Mirror
Britain is the World's Surveillance Leader
hax0r_par writes "It seems that in Britain, surveillance on the general public is happening and being recorded 24/7. They are playing the angle that this is allowing for criminal surveillance, which seems justified by the article. But it really is something to take into paranoid consideration now that we've got the technology to make this possible."

Now dead, his rotting fingers are able to raise

fail it.
This is the name for the British surveilance system.

it's a jewish conspiracy
Not many tv cameras can keep operating after taking even a single blast of bird shot.

The only title of honor that a tyrant can grant is "Enemy of the State."
...bad joke sorry.
I guess even a totalitarian state isn't enough example to stop these practices...
While the crime rates in Britain soar, what do we see:
> An estimated 4.2 million closed-circuit TV cameras observe people going
Okay. Lets take pictures of all those fearless criminals. Seems that it's higly unlikely that all of those cameras matter. Out of the many tens of thousands of criminal acts that have taken place recently the cameras can only help with a limited few:

This is a nightmare of stupidity. I am so glad I don't live there.

I was looking at the live internet stream coming from that camera outside her bedroom window. She should learn to close her shades.

I'm a Brit, but trying hard to become an Ex-Brit and new Kiwi ... we really don't care that the police and councils are watching our every move while outside, it's just no big deal and we rather like the comfort factor.
We understand that some other less intelligent races are rather paranoid about their goverments watching them .. why is that ?
cameras watch *YOU*... err... never mind.
Your story suggests to me that you are a lonely fantasist, prone to attention seeking (also known as karma whoring). In this particular instance, the story is clearly about your propensity for self mutilation and probable violence against women -- the fragment, "You just fucking stabbed me you cunt", is very similar to "You just fucking stabbed me in the cunt". Perhaps you are subconciously adapting a recent episode of uninvited female violation into your fantasy.
Tezza, if that really is your name, I implore you to seek psychological help. There is only so much I can do as an Anonymous Coward.
Twitter, you're a petulant cock-gobbling sycophant to Linux Torvaldyos! Quit taking DP from ESR and RMS's feculent cocks and why don't you try to stop sucking quite so much? Get out of your parents' basement and see the real world - maybe then you'll see how pathetic you sound, with your neverending stream of bullshit about how Microsoft is stalking you. Wasn't it you who said that Microsoft believes your insane ranting is actually a threat to them, so they PAY PEOPLE to reply to you on Slashdot? No sir, I don't get any money. I do it for the love. Someone has to go up against your paranoid whining. So get back in your cage and shut the fuck up already.
Well I think people should stick to the damn speed limit and not make stupid excuses like "Oh the government is just trying to get more money out of us" (Don't break the law then!) or "It's going slowly that's dangerous!" (It's a fact that the faster you go the less time you have to react to unexpected events on the road).
I just hate idiotic drivers who think it's alright for them to drive fast because they're such leet drivers with great skillz and it's everyone else that's to blame.
