From London\u2019s Daily Telegraph: <\/em>According to recent studies, Britain has 4.2million CCTV cameras \u2013 one for every 14 people in the country \u2013 which amounts to 20 per cent of the global camera total. It has been calculated that each person is caught on camera an average of 300 times daily.<\/span><\/div>\n

Cameras in every church hooked up to Vatican Central: \u201cNow Father, you know liturgical dancers aren\u2019t allowed, and what are you doing using glass chalices, and could we please get rid of those felt banners?\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
