Some weeks ago I did read about some local authorities wanting to add microphones to the CCTV network so as to listen to conversations as well as watch you.
At this point in time I cannot see that being allowed. However it shows the mentality of some of those that have been given power by us the voters.....There is always a danger in being complacent as to how much power you consent our poiltitions to have over us....CCTV in moderate hands can benefit all in not so moderate hands can become quite sinister.......The fact we live in a society where political correctness is policy. Who knows where control over freedom to say and think what you like will be affected by authorities listening in for rule breakers.
Britain has actually drifted or slept walk into a society that is more like communist Russia of bygone years where neighbours and friends reported each other if they stepped aside from prescribed way of thinking and beliefs.
None of us can predict what future Governments will be like. Moderate or extreme who knows.......At the moment it is quite extreme but could be a lot lot worse
