I am neither, and I resent your offensive insinuations. I simply wish to
enjoy my traditional British birthright of privacy, without being tracked,
tagged and surveilled by an unaccountable army of public and commercial
'security services'.

I propose to install cctv in your home, grumps. I'm going to wire it to
every room, so that we can watch you night and day. You will only object to
this if you are either illegal in this country or have something to hide...
