When a senior policeman wonders if we are becoming an Orwellian society, it's time to pay attention. Ian Readhead, Hampshire's Deputy Chief Constable, has gone on record to say that the town of Stockbridge in Hampshire is overreacting by installing a £10,000 CCTV system, and that the only result will be to increase the sense of authoritarian oppression that is spreading across Britain. Congratulations to him for pointing out that the cameras have had no effect whatsoever: in fact, crime has actually gone up since they were installed.
