Can anyone recall the name of the philosopher who proposed a one-way viewing dome in the ceiling of a prison? So that whether or not there was an observer in the dome, the prisoners never knew for sure if they were being watched? Thats the way I feel about CCTV in this country - you never know if someone is watching (but in reality they probably arent, since there are hundreds more cameras than there are officers to observe them).

Good to see they are coming to their senses and scrapping the ID cards and ContactPoint.

The broadband sounds like a pipe dream - but I would literally pay double, maybe even triple, what I am paying now to get what they actually promise. I have 'up to 8Mbps', but in reality the maximum I get is about 1.
