Quote of the Day: Surveillance in England

The media reports of practically every murder in Britain now conclude with the words, “The police are studying the CCTV evidence.” Britain has by far the highest density of closed-circuit television cameras in the world, each Briton being filmed 300 times per day. But no amount of electronic surveillance can ensure common decency....The British Way of Murder, Theodore Dalrymple, City Journal, 4/9/2007

That's the way it is in post-democratic society. The more rigid and specific are the laws, and the more advanced tools are for enforcing them, the more deranged the society acts. Post-democratic society? Yes. In Britain, with its sovereignty more or less assigned to Brussels, more than 90% of laws and regulations come from unelected officials. People under unrepresentative governments tend to act out.
