Ohhh yeah. There are surveilance cameras everywhere, and national databases tracking all manner of personal data about us. The government wants to introduce a national database of biometric identification data, too.

Orwell's dystopian vision of the future could well be a reality here soon enough. Unless the next few years see some substantial changes in the attitude of the public.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
