Britain: The Nanny State

Posted by Brendan Clarke on December 31st, 2009

Despite the fact that we supposedly live in a free democracy and that a large portion of people have angrily opposed this law coming into effect, it seems that every phone call, email and web search you make will be monitored.

This data will be stored for a year and available to 653 public bodies and they will be able to do so very easily, without requiring a judge.

In case you have become numb to the growing lack of civil liberties in Britain, this is a disgusting abuse of power and it is both undemocratic and representative of the failing nanny state we live in.

The source is from November, but read anyway.
