    I thought it was going to be a new channel when I first read it. Kinda like Swag (that was a good programme), but a full channel. Let's face it, even if you see people doing this sort of thing in person, you're not likely to get a policeman round, so what's your chances if you've only seen them on camera. Suppose it'll keep those sad bastards who own their own speed cameras happy though.

    the premise of it is frightening, the idea that citizens are encouraged to spy on each other and inform on each other is just fucking wrong. :banghead:

    On the plus side the only person who will watch it is the token crazy lady (every block has got one) who has like 19 cats and is convinced that people are stealing her grass clippings.

    yeah with two differences:
    1) she isn't homeless, she just thinks "everyone on the outside is filthy"
    2) doesn't throw the cats at people, she just turns the hose on em.

    Waste of money as the police never show up for low level crime anyway as I've found out in recent years.

    I was talking about the grumpy old lady that nearly every block has, not the simpsons "cat thrower".

    And nobody will do a thing. :thumb:

    Modern politicians must love all this apathy going on in many western countries. True, people are free to moan, but they can't be arsed doing anything. Not until too late, I reckon.

    Too true Jaloux, if revolution was televised, most of this country would probably switch channels to watch the X-Factor.

    Isn't ironic that we label Celebrity Big Brother 'reality TV' and ignore the reality of Big Brother politics. :sour:
