Snooping government new policy to monitor your messages.

I do too.

I do too.

Sueinkent doesn't seem to want to engage in a discussion she started.

Yes, I think CCTV in city centres is generally a good thing. I wouldn't like to see facial recognition brought in (for the same reasons as I don't like surveillance of everyone as opposed to targeting suspected criminals) but CCTV must be invaluable when it comes to detective work.

Can you link to a credible source for the allegation that people are being 'lifted off the streets' for feeding pigeons, please?

There were arrests for lies and incitement to violence on SM during riots, but 'lifting people off the streets' is a new one on my, particularly for feeding pigeons😳. I'd be very interested to see where this has been reported.

Easily found, but I've done it for you.

Thank you, but that has already been posted, and as I said, I was aware of a story about a woman getting a FPN for ignoring instructions to stop littering. I am interested in 'people being lifted off the streets', which is a very different matter.
