Twitchy curtains
A UK politician once said, “People don’t need curtains, but they do seem to seem to like having them and awful lot.” And another UK politician once said, “Why should I have my right to look into someone’s home impinged by a curtain?” I’m not sure if this says more about the state of UK political debate or our obsession with window decorations. The point is that it does offer an insight into how politicians view people’s privacy, as in it’s something the state has control over and an interest in controlling.
