The Man From Beaumonte
The Tools of the Modern State
There's something about going back to Essex that really messes with my constitution. I feel like I regress back down several steps on the evolutionary scale. Like I've walked right onto the set of 'They Live'.
These security cameras are quite the eye sore; menacing and portentous. Ultimately I suppose the reasons for their existence are rational and understandable, desirable even, but still, for me they represent a facet of the darker side of the modern state, especially in Britain, which is, apparently, the most surveiled state on earth.
