Hate to burst your bubble but if you haven't noticed it's the rich who run the country.

They pay the most in political contributions so they have the most clout. Now come election time the politicians will be out pressing hands of the poor working classes, but as soon as they have their votes it's back to normal.

Same whether you live in the US, UK, EU or on the dark side of the moon. It's called democracy.

Anyway, CCTV in the UK has cut down on muggings, street crime, caught murderers and many criminals, not to mention slowing down drivers and cutting the number of road deaths. Is it worth having your picture taken in a mall if it helps stop someone kidnapping a child?
