A Walk through the Surveillance Society. In the UK the use of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) for surveillance and crime control has grown to unprecedented levels making the UK the most watched? nation on earth, accounting for 20% of world CCTV sales. There is an estimated 4.2 million CCTV cameras in the UK. Between £150 and £300 million per year is spent on a surveillance industry covering private businesses, shopping areas, housing estates, car parks and public facilities, despite having a negligible effect on fighting crime.

I have been visiting Abingdon Street Gardens (commonly referred to as College Green) opposite The Houses of Parliament, in Westminster, London, since the 1990s, to observe politicians as they interact with the cream of the world’s media during times of political turmoil, General Elections, or ‘slow news’ days. It is on this Green that the relationship between the two is played out openly for the benefit of global TV audiences. This relationship can be seen as part of the ‘Westminster Bubble’, a term often used to describe the cosy relationship between members of the UK Political and Media 'Establishments', and one that is isolated from life outside Parliament. Initially my project had intended to show this relationship at work during the Blair/Brown era, when an increasing importance was put on political advisors or ‘spin-doctors’. These ‘spin doctors’ were frequently accused by political commentators of manipulation, especially in the lead up to the Iraq war and following various Parliamentary financial scandals. I ended my project after the 2010 General Election. However, in the light of the 2016 Referendum to leave the EU and the turmoil that has been thrown up by the very divisive BREXIT campaign, I have restarted the project, shifting its emphasis slightly to reflect the current political discourse.
