I get what you’re saying but it’s not just the fact that the whole country is covered in CCTV (private or otherwise, and btw I find private cameras to be more dystopian frankly because you can’t audit them.) There has always been a sentiment in UK government similar to America that justifies an all-seeing entity (GCHQ) who’s motives are implicitly good and thus they are beyond having to answer to the public. The secrets act itself is something that makes the UK even worse than America in this way.
