As your day begins you are caught in the glare of street cameras. Next as you make your way down onto the underground to catch a train into work, again you are captured in the lens of a camera. You get off the train and head into the newsagent to buy your daily newspaper and sure enough big brother is watching you once again.
Then as you begin your day at work you are monitored right up until you clock off. Then it's back to the eye of the street camera's. This scenario continues right up until you put the key in the door and walk back into the privacy of home.
Surely this big brother behaviour well and truly over steps the mark. Where do you draw the line?
Consider this, if a person followed you around all day capturing your every move on camera. Then they would be classed as a stalker. However the only difference between that and the experience we all endure day in, day out is that we are stalked by more than one assailant.
It is suggested that if we have nothing to hide then why worry. Well my answer to that is, if we are doing nothing wrong then why on earth do we need to be monitored to such an extent. I believe this intrusion into our privacy is a breach of our human rights.
I think society as a whole is becoming too paranoid, and the media encourages this fear. What is the point of life if we can't trust anybody? Yes we know there is bad out there. But lets not tar everyone with the same brush.
