   The UK is becoming 1984.

      Back in the early 00s the UK seemed to go all in on mass surveillance, with massive amount of cameras in public places and all that. I still remember how shocking it all looked even from Canada. So these 1984 parallels are certainly not a new development.

         US has Flock, ICE, PRISM and many other privacy horrors. I would much rather live in the UK than in the land of orange.

            It’s the five eyes (probably more by now), not the one eye.
