We live in a discipline-and-surveillance society wrapped up in a soft liberal cloak, hidden beneath slogans of freedom and democracy. Four million camera lenses follow every one of our moves, planted on street corners and in shopping centres, restaurants and cafes, schools and libraries.
The headline for this is "We're all on Big Brother now". Now, it might be just me, but if we are going to reference Big Brother there it should be the Orwellian one and not the stupid pseudo-celebrity generator TV show. Perhaps the sub-editor responsible for headings thought he was being cute or maybe he really is that illiterate.
