Wow. Just when I think Britain can't get any sillier, they turn around and prove me wrong. Their pervasive public surveillance cameras aren't enough. Now, the cameras are going to start talking if they spot you engaging in uncivil behavior.

I wonder if that is for real, because that is kind of creepy. But, I dunno...it kind of has a huge appeal for me. Like I kind of want to visit London now to see how many cameras I can provoke :).
Yes, it is really for real. If you follow the links through, you end up at BBC News.
Of course, this is the same country that has descended to such heights of political silliness that they've decided publishing the photos of wanted criminals is a violation of their human rights.
But they need those video cameras, since personal ownership of firearms is completely outlawed. As a fun result, the number of home-invasions over there has skyrocketed, because it's much easier to trick someone into answering the door and then beat them up and take their stuff than it is to defeat any sort of real security system.
This is how an empire crumbles.
