LONDON NEWS

TUPNews has zero beef with the UK's surveillance culture, but I was a little surprised by the cinematography on last night’s 36 bus from Victoria to Camberwell Green. Sitting back-seat-top-deck like a rude boy, I quickly realised that a camera was trained directly on me – and just me. This meant that every six seconds, viewers of the in-house CCTV, i.e. the rest of the bus, were treated to an establishing shot of yours truly. I didn’t mind the invasion of privacy so much, it’s just that I felt a vague pressure to entertain them in some way, and couldn’t think of anything on the spot.
