Watch London (Everybody Else Is)


By clicking the header of this post, or visiting http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/in_pictures/webcams/ you can sit and watch English people as they go about their business, or indeed take a look at a bit of London you haven't seen before.
This would mean you'd join the thousands of English people employed to watch their fellow countrymen on the UK's 4 million or so CCTV cameras, set by the government to watch its citizens, which is higher per person than any other nation on earth.
That government is now tying in biometric technology with this massive coverage, and issue ID cards that could be used to restrict the movement of individuals.
Hilariously you can also watch the progress at England's new national stadium, Wembley, also via a webcam feed. The disastrous project is over a year behind schedule and hundreds of millions of pounds over budget.
You might be there a while...
