The state of the UK (Score 1)

We're already the most watched (ie under surveillance from static cameras here, there and who knows where) nation on the planet, now this. While I can see the point of cracking down on banned (etc) drivers, stopping people in the street to take their fingerprints because they are suspected of committing an offence, well where does that start and end..? Brown pickpockets us while Blair takes our pictures.
