      That means I now have to comb my hair and put on a clean top just to get some fags from the newsagent.

          As someone pointed out on yesterday's C4 Dispatches program...

          When they have the metrics of all our faces in a central DB, and imaging software that can recognize our physogs from any surveillance camera feed - that'll be the most perfect social surveillance and tracking system so far devised.

          You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

            They might just draw the line at your boat bogey, unfortunately I'm a good looking fecker so would always be a proud addition to any database.

              The system will crash once they lodge your details.

                I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

                  Is that the cameras or the population?
                  Why not?
