30 MINUTES is a series of provocative polemics on the UK's Channel 4 in which high-profile authors address important current affairs subjects. This show covers the raft of new legislation removing our liberties since the arrival of the 'New Labour' administration and how the majority of UK Subjects are now criminals in one way or another; there is a particular focus on the use of CCTV to capture and fine or prosecute the generally law-abiding and it's failure to deal with 'hoody' yob culture. Peter Oborne is a journalist who has decided to look at a new breed of criminals whose activities are sweeping across the UK – ordinary people. From the litter droppers, the minor speed limit offenders, the parents parking on yellow lines outside their schools, the people who risk a fine for a simple home bonfire and so on. He meets plenty of nice decent people who have been classed as criminals simply because they choose to break the speed limit, throw litter down in the street, park in restricted areas, drive in bus lanes or get drunk in public places.
