​Redefining privacy, CCTV obsession & ‘corruption’ in the City [E74]

Published 7 May, 2014 07:00 | Updated 16 May, 2014 05:46

Afshin Rattansi goes underground on the Home Office monitoring our internet activity. Investigative journalist Russ Baker says because of the secrecy around the snooping, the scope could be far wider than the government has admitted before. From spying on the internet to spying on the streets – could the authorities’ love affair with CCTV actually be doing us good? We look at whether justice is blind when it comes to Justice Secretary Chris Grayling – as we count down some of his more dubious decisions. Plus, can the financial sector really be regulated while the tax haven industry in British overseas territories booms? And, those looking for work are now expected to pop into a Job Centre every single day – all at the expense of the taxpayer.
