Misery

I can't stand it. You sit in a cafe with cameras pointing at your face from all directions. Libraries?! - cameras everywhere. Waterstones ... monitoring how consumers choose to buy books based on their cover - not bothered about the odd thief for their stock costs pennies.

Every city is plastered with cameras, every alleyway, front of building, top of building.

The other day a beggar briefly asked some ladies for change and immediately walked off. Meanwhile, XXXX Council jobsworth harassed those 3 ladies into giving a statement against the beggar when really they didn't want to. They just wanted to enjoy their coffees in piece whilst being filmed for AI machine learning purposes. Seriously, 15 minutes he harassed them and wouldn't take no for an answer.

Getting a train?: Report anything suspicious "see it say it b0110ck5" - What's suspicious is making everyone suspicious of each other when you could instead be being filmed having a nice chat!

I've seen no crime in tea rooms in the past 50 years ...

Yet people still undertake dangerously on the motorway. Drive 50mph through narrow town centres, mounting the pavement.
