Will Stewart reports that “a Russian journalist believes the level of surveillance is worse in ‘Big Brother Britain’ than it was in Russia during the Soviet era.”

“Irada Zeinalova, who is based in London, said she felt she was being constantly spied on by security cameras.

“She highlighted how in the UK the level of monitoring is such that even rubbish bins have computer chips fitted so councils can check what householders are throwing out.

“‘Security has got absurd,’ she said. ‘I don’t like that level of intrusion into my private life’.”
