These are ‘interesting times’. The spread of CCTV, which nobody voted for, the arming of the police, the creation of the ostensibly friendly ‘community police’ and attempts to establish a network of citizen snoopers/informants; and not least the many efforts to introduce ID cards, which police officers would no doubt insist on seeing any time they feel pushy. We are heading for dark days, and vigilance has never been more important.
