Daily Mail: 'Big Brother' Britain worse than China

The Daily Mail has an excellent report detailing how 'police state China' has one CCTV camera for every 472,000 of it's citizens.

By comparison, Britain has one CCTV camera for every 14 people.

It also notes that 1 in 78 British adults were spied upon by the state last year with over half a million of us having had our telephone or email records spied upon.

So, fellow Brits, know any cheap airline tickets to go and live in liberal China?

Praise must be handed to the Daily Mail who have, of late, been a consistent guardian of British civil liberties and consistently expose the absolutely appalling levels of control that we live under in New Labour's totalitarian state.

The sooner ZaNuLiebour are gone... not that we expect anybody else to do anything much different once they actually get into power. Call us cynical.

See also the excellent opinion piece by Henry Porter with which we agree.

And here's a nice little article in The Times for the 'nothing to hide, nothing to fear' loonies.
