The Arab world has been rocked by a wave of political unrest this year, with mass protests toppling long-time rulers in several countries. Once viewed as a region where stability over ruled all other issues, many are looking at the coming year with hope and apprehension. The Arab dominoes fall – In power for decades, with some enjoying military and economic support from the US, rulers from Egypt to Yemen seemed secure.

Political unrest is adding pressure to world oil prices, as Brent oil surged to a near 2.5 year high on Wednesday. After reaching as high as 104 US dollars and 52 cents a barrel, Brent crude closed at more than 103 US dollars per barrel, its highest close since September 2008. US crude settled up 67 cents at just under 85 dollars, rising after three days of losses. Analysts say the spike is because oil markets are already skittish about clashes in Iran. And unrest in Yemen, Bahrain and Libya are compounding fears that the kind of turmoil in Egypt and Tunisia could spread to oil-producing countries in the Middle East, and disrupt oil flow in the region.

This dystopia is a very British. George Orwell is a plug infinitely quotable for this type of argument, and I commend the literature of its reflection. “Nineteen Eighty Four” was a truly visionary – is prefigured the concept of a surveillance society long before the development of modern technologies that make possibile.La Britain is a world leader in CCTV . It has a half times more numerous surveillance cameras of Communist China. The exact number of them in the United Kingdom is unknown, but a 2002 estimate, the figure had more than four million. The methodology for collecting these statistics is rather vague but reasonable inquiry suggests that our country now has a camera security infrastructure all people.The 14 ‘set, while valid in many respects, has a plethora of disturbing possibilities. The combination of surveillance cameras with facial recognition algorithms that keep track of people in the crowd, reading license plates and record all data for future use is handy for civil law in course, but leaves door open for the future status have deeper levels of the society of control.

These days, you can hardly open a newspaper or switch on the telly, without being bombarded with stories about video surveillance, or digital CCTV, or indeed many less than glowing references to Big Brother; so what exactly is the state of surveillance in Britain today?

Well generally speaking, it’s either regarded as a sure fire vote winner and the greatest thing in crime fighting since the invention of the tin whistle, or one millimetric step away from a bottomless Orwellian abyss.

The truth of course tends to lie somewhere in the middle, but then the problem of quantifying the merits or otherwise in using this technology, are somewhat diluted by a fundamental misunderstanding about exactly what the use of Closed Circuit Television means to our modern society.

Although most people consider the now widescale adoption of CCTV as a relatively new phenomenon and something to be enthusiastically embraced, the UK is actually charging headlong into a “third age” of video surveillance, with little if any informed discussion on the benefits and outcomes we could perhaps expect over the next five to ten years.

It was not so long ago that the Information Commissioner Richard Thomas, was warning of Britain “sleepwalking” into a surveillance state, and yet a report commissioned by his own office and published in September 2006, actually leads with the statement “We live in a surveillance society. It is pointless to talk about surveillance society in the future tense.”

To industry insiders, this apparent revelation was no more a surprise than the realisation that successive academic reports into the effectiveness of CCTV in tackling crime, have only served to highlight a hidden technical conundrum, which impacts hugely on the way in which cameras are frequently failing to fulfill their potential, or live up to expectations, depending on your particular point of view.

Time and again, reviews are published which throw in to question whether CCTV actually works, but almost without exception, there is a significant flaw in the presentation of the data. When reporting on technical efficiency, it is naively assumed that the systems have been correctly profiled, designed, installed and operated, to achieve the highest levels of efficacy.

In practice, little could be further from the truth.

Generally speaking, there is no wider public realisation that Closed Circuit Television, CCTV, video surveillance or whatever else you want to call it, is actually a

Tony Robinson goes on a fascinating and sometimes bizarre journey to discover the origins of our laws and what we do to people when they break them. From trials by boiling water, through the decapitation of a king, to the emergence of modern democracy, it is a journey that starts two thousand years ago and remains unfinished today.

We find out how the Normans created the first surveillance society, how today’s compensation culture was started by the Anglo Saxons and how a man whose body was kept in a London cupboard inspired us to stop stringing people up and start locking them up instead.

Throughout his historical journey, Tony plays the part of the accused, judge, jury and executioner and discovers the often strange circumstances from which the main tenets of modern English law emerged.
