LUCY MANGAN: If I 手配中の，お尋ね者 警官，（賞などを）獲得するs 秘かに調査するing on my 直面する, I'd go and live in 中国

• e-mail

Here's an idea. Why don't we all save time and 宣言する ourselves 有罪の at the age of 18 and 調印する a 明言する／公表する Culpability 文書. Such is my 返答 to the 深く，強烈に worrying news that the 主要都市の Police is 追加するing facial 承認 cameras to its already plentiful armoury of 監視 兵器.

Linked to databases on 犯罪の 嫌疑者，容疑者／疑うs, the cameras will ざっと目を通す the features of people on the streets of London and 警報 officers if a 嫌疑者，容疑者／疑う's 直面する appears. The Met （人命などを）奪う，主張するs any images of individuals not on their system will be '削除するd in seconds'. How 安心させるing.

But during two years of 裁判，公判s, the system has been only 70 per cent 効果的な at spotting 嫌疑者，容疑者／疑うs. No wonder the 計画／陰謀 ? 類似の to one already used in South むちの跡s ? has been 非難するd as a 'breathtaking 強襲，強姦 on 権利s'. Of course, at a time of 記録，記録的な／記録する numbers of knife attacks, there will be many who cleave to the 'if you 港／避難所't done anything wrong, you've nothing to worry about' school of thought.

But the problem with any 肉親，親類d of 公式の／役人 監視 is 使節団 creep. We're used to CCTV cameras ? in London there are 概算の to be 500,000 ? but facial 承認 cameras smack of 権威主義者 政府s

But the problem with any 肉親，親類d of 公式の／役人 監視 is 使節団 creep. We're used to CCTV cameras ? in London there are 概算の to be 500,000 ? but facial 承認 cameras smack of 権威主義者 政府s.

In 中国, such 科学（工学）技術 is used と一緒に an insidious system of 裁判官ing people's credit 率ing not just by how much they earn, spend and save but how they behave and with whom they associate.

But we're not 中国, you exclaim! True ? but 政府s change. And it is an axiom of life that 政治家，政治屋s very rarely 列／漕ぐ／騒動 支援する on any 器具s of 力／強力にする they've given themselves. 保険 companies will also be eager to 偉業／利用する this 開発. 雇用者s would find it handy for 新規採用 vetting.

No one 投票（する）d or asked for this but I can see countless companies joining in this most unBritish facial 承認 大当り. Away from the 問題／発行する of whether we're comfortable to be a society where cameras help anyone in a position of 当局 to identify us without our knowledge as we go about our daily lives, there is another 乱すing 面.

研究 has shown that one in ten women has been voyeuristically surveilled by those 監視するing CCTV cameras. Police officers have used such 科学（工学）技術 to 跡をつける estranged spouses, 'help' their friends in さまざまな ways, and so on.

Most worrying, though, is what happens when everything is accessible to the 当局. What if your aunt …に出席するd an anti-Brexit 決起大会／結集させる, you live next door to a 罪人／有罪を宣告するd drink-driver or last went on holiday to Moscow ? and are thus tainted by 協会?

This isn't scaremongering. The 科学（工学）技術 to eradicate our privacy already 存在するs ? but the 法律s, checks and balances (の中で which I 含む the 欠如（する） of public 認識／意識性 of its 関わりあい／含蓄s) sadly do not.

Big Brother won't just be watching us, he'll be reading our text messages, 否定するing us 保険 and selling every 詳細（に述べる） of our lives to anyone who's paid their 接近 料金.

Get ready to 調印する your 有罪の papers. Soon you won't have a choice.

A friend has just spent £2,000 on… a chest of drawers. I suddenly feel I never knew her 適切に. It's not just the 量 of money. I could be a multi-億万長者 and still be constitutionally incapable of spending £2,000 on a chest of drawers.?

A cruel take on 進歩?

BBC 無線で通信する DJ Liz Kershaw has been rebuked for criticising the 告示 that all 明言する／公表する schools and colleges will 供給する 解放する／自由な sanitary 製品s for pupils.

This long 延滞の 決定／判定勝ち（する） followed 支えるd （選挙などの）運動をするing to end いわゆる 'period poverty', with （人命などを）奪う，主張するs that many girls can't afford tampons and have to 行方不明になる school.

Kershaw said: 'Sorry if this is 甚だしい／１２ダース. But period poverty FFS?! My mum had to use old rags which my grandma boiled-washed and she re-used. How did she ever manage to get a scholarship to grammar school, go to un iversity and become a headteacher without 解放する／自由な tampons?'

BBC 無線で通信する DJ Liz Kershaw has been rebuked for criticising the 告示 that all 明言する／公表する schools and colleges will 供給する 解放する／自由な sanitary 製品s for pupils

The 無線で通信する 6 Music presenter is 61 and her mum used rags because, 支援する then, everyone did, rich or poor. 集まり-market 製品s hadn't been invented. In any 事例／患者, just because her mother 苦しむd, it's crass to say today's 世代 must 苦しむ, too. My mother had TB. If I ever 契約 the 病気, should I only be given 治療s 利用できる in 1964?

It's a crabbed and cruel mind that 拒絶するs 進歩.

A 基準 no girl should 目的（とする） for...?

賞賛する to Taylor Swift, left, for talking 率直に about her eating disorder. In a new TV 文書の, the singer tells how she 戦う／戦いd with her 団体／死体 as a 十代の少年少女 because 'there's always some 基準 of beauty you're not 会合'. Let's hope the millions of young girls to whom she is held up as that '基準' 注意する her words and understand the unhealthy ideal of self-image they are fed.?

It WAS 国家の Compliment Day on Friday. Somehow, I 行方不明になるd it. Surely not because I spent the day snarling at any family members who dared come 近づく my desk??

Consistency is a much under-率d virtue. I admire anyone who gives out the sense that if you chopped them 負かす／撃墜する the middle, they would be 正確に／まさに the same all the way through. A glorious example is actor Brian Blessed. He's been Brian Blessed-ing for 83 years. In an interview, the 星／主役にする says he couldn't be happier. 'I love myself!' he にわか景気d. 'I can't wait to wake up in the morning and be me! I look in the bathroom mirror and I'm a cross between a yeti and a gorilla. But I love it!'

If only we could harness this Blessed energy for the 国家の good.

The Church of England has advised that sex should take place only between married, 異性愛の couples.?

Wait, you mean there's yet another thing to 追加する to the 'to-do' 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）? Can't we just continue living vicariously through 選び出す／独身 friends of all 説得／派閥s and feeling 静かに glad that others still have the energy to bother??

The Chelsea Flower Show this year is to 陳列する，発揮する a garden based on 女性（の） genitalia. Called, euphemistically, A Lady Garden, the design by Jennifer Hirsch will 'echo the curves of the 女性（の） form'.

I'm a feminist through and through, but I'm happy to let Chelsea stay a place where flowers are just flowers. They're a 奇蹟 enough.?

Jack's 法律, する権利を与えるing parents who lose a child to take two weeks' statutory paid leave to help 対処する with their bereavement, comes into 軍隊 in April. It's 指名するd after Lucy Herd's one-year-old son Jack, who 溺死するd in a pond.?

Her husband was 許すd only three days off work, one of which had to be for the funeral. Lucy has （選挙などの）運動をするd to change the 法律 ever since. It never 中止するs to fill me with awe the way some people make life better for others even in the 中央 of the greatest imaginable 苦しむing.?

For congenital 悲観論者s such as me, the coronavirus 脅し 供給するs a 新たな展開d 肉親，親類d of 救済. We always knew something like this would happen.?

We've lived in anxious 予期. Now it's here, we can relax. Of course we're not happy with the idea of an apocalyptic pandemic ? we're as 脅すd as anyone ? but there is a str ange underlying peace in having one's world 見解（をとる） finally 確認するd.?

Lasagne ? la loon?

Hotels heiress Paris Hilton is 支援する and this time she's making lasagne. Sort of. A 15-minute YouTube ビデオ, Cooking With Paris, shows her 試みる／企てるing to 組み立てる／集結する this basic dish with much the same degree of 信用／信任 and ability that you or I would have 組み立てる／集結するing a 核の ミサイル.?

Baffled by kitchen utensils ('Spoons are 残虐な!'). 混乱させるd by pasta that needs boiling. She wets kitchen roll with 瓶／封じ込めるd water and wastes an entire 封鎖する of cheese lest she 傷つけるs herself with the grater.?

It's impossible to tell if she is a self-aware comic genius or an 絶対の loon who shouldn't be 許すd out of the house without 監督. I look 今後 to finding out ? though not to 存在 招待するd for dinner.?

Many years ago, I had to ask bestselling authors about their experience of the Hay Festival. The only one who put this fledgling reporter at 緩和する was Monty Python's Terry Jones, who died last week 老年の 77.?

He twinkled, chatted, made jokes and gave me endlessly quotable lines. I was so 感謝する. A gentleman. RIP.
