BBC NEWS | UK | Britain is 'surveillance society'

BBC NEWS | UK | Britain is 'surveillance society'

Thanks to /. which reminds me of this cruel fact: that I may have about 300 appearances on CCTV cameras per day.  UK is among the countries with most surveillance and privacy worst protected.  What is worse is that my keystrokes during working may well be recorded.  I would not blame my university without evidence but the fact that I am using pre-installed Windoze system on that machine is somewhat worrying.

This does not mean the US becomes a more lovely country.  It is not and never has been.  As the surveillance in the US is implemented by multiple agencies it can be more complicated and more powerful.  What is sure is that people are being terrorised so they accept total control anyway.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot;
I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.

  1. 1605年11月5日,Guy Fawkes 图谋爆破英国议会大厦并谋杀英国国王。阴谋失败后被绞死。这段情节后来在《V》里面有反映。在两方立场上都可以解释这首诗。因为当天正好是11月5日,所以添了这个。

  2. 最后一段的来历是?
