Check out the new Banksy piece on Newman Street in London. The scaffolding went up on Saturday morning. For those of you that don't know what CCTV is, it is the British closed circuit public surveillance system that they use to monitor all street activity. The total number of cameras in the UK is around 4.2 million and there is about one camera for every 14 people that live there.

There are around 10,524 CCTV cameras in 32 London boroughs funded with Home Office grants totalling about £200million in cost to the tax payers.

Wandsworth has 993 cameras, Tower Hamlets, 824, Greenwich, 747 and Lewisham 730, but police in all four boroughs fail to reach the average 21 percent crime clear-up rate for London.
