Interesting analysis of a dystopian future. While the US is so much larger our cities are not. With AI monitoring cameras we are not far from the Chinese social rating system. So much for freedom. Welcome to 1984 dominated by female emotion to keep us safe. Not exactly making the UK a model.
We are already living in a surveillance state, there are cameras everywhere. The potential for total control of the individual is on the horizon with concurrent advances in AI and brain scanning technology. Soon, even our thoughts won't be hidden.
This isn’t crime control — it’s social conditioning. When a Home Secretary openly praises the panopticon, the mask is off. Continuous visibility isn’t about stopping criminals; it’s about training citizens to self-censor, self-police, and self-submit. Britain didn’t stumble into this — it chose it, trading shared culture and assimilation for mass migration, then using surveillance to manage the fallout. The result is a soft police state where speech, prayer, and thought trigger intervention. History already ran this experiment and rejected it. Reviving it with AI, cameras, and data fusion isn’t progress — it’s authoritarianism with better marketing. Once the tower exists, abuse isn’t a bug. It’s the point.
Okay, I pay to follow you, @Amuse, because I learn from you and find myself often having to lookup words. Your scope of knowledge and ability to assimilate thoughts is amazing. To what do you attribute these gifts? Is it AI, your IQ, years of reading and study?
Don’t forget Brexit. The problem is their parliamentary system and the inbred Royals are detrimental to the UK. They truly have sunk to a new low, but I hope they are not totally out. Trump wrapped Starmer around his pinky finger, but wussy Starmer is going to pay for his stance on Greenland. Hang in there. Don’t give up yet. The Brits will figure it out.

This was yet another thought provoking writing.
The UK has fallen. They chose poorly.
