... note also that their Big Idea of the Day is to give people the right to petition their local council to install more of the things. They announced this on a platform standing alongside a woman who was horribly burned by someone who assaulted her with a cupful of acid, who says CCTV cameras make her feel safer.
The poor woman obviously has serious psychological issues - who wouldn't, after a horrendous experience like that - and I find it despicable that they are using her to bolster their image, knowing fine well how hard it is for someone to stand up and tell someone who has suffered in such a way that their feelings might not justify what she's asking for.
