Spyblog is a spin-off blog from the civil liberties website Watching Them Watching Us, a "UK Public CCTV Surveillance Regulation Campaign." They are bluntly critical of government, corporations and the general public and our collective lack of attention to and carelessness in the face of what they perceive to be a general erosion of civil rights. If you log onto their site, the first message you get is one indicating how much information they have gathered about you, just by virtue of the fact that you've called up their website. In my case it was "You seem to be from a UK academic institution..." etc.
There is some hard hitting stuff here and those on the receiving end of the criticism, (if they're aware of it), could be made to feel more than a little uncomfortable about it.
Their critique of the security measures deployed at Hammersmith Bus station will almost certainly not go down too well with the people responsible.
