UK PM David Cameron Proclaims: It’s Not Enough To Follow The Law, You Must Love Big Brother
Quote:

It’s not just those domestic extremists and crazy “conspiracy theory” kooks who took serious issue with UK Prime Minister David Cameron’s recent overtly fascist language when it comes to freedom of expression in Great Britain. For example, in a post published today, the UK Independent describes the quote below as “the creepiest thing David Cameron has ever said.”

For too long, we've been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens: as long you you obey the law, we will leave you alone

So, even if you DO obey the law, you'll be subject to intrusion and harassment by security forces?

Wow.

‘Underhand, undemocratic’: GCHQ continues controversial hacking after covert law change

Quote:

The British government has quietly re-written the law to permit its electronic intelligence agency to continue with controversial surveillance practices, according to campaigners.

Privacy International had been in the process of bringing a legal challenge against the government in the hope of curtailing GCHQ’s invasive practices, but claim to have discovered the law had been discreetly changed to exempt the spy agency from prosecution.

The group claims they, and other interested parties, were told about the change in law – which occurred in early March – just hours before they were due to hear the response to their legal challenge...

Deputy Director of Privacy International, Eric King, said: “The underhand and undemocratic manner in which the government is seeking to make lawful GCHQ’s hacking operations is disgraceful. Hacking is one of the most intrusive surveillance capabilities available to any intelligence agency, and its use and safeguards surrounding it should be the subject of proper debate. Instead, the government is continuing to neither confirm nor deny the existence of a capability it is clear they have, while changing the law under the radar, without proper parliamentary debate.”

Well since Americans keep electing Democrats to do the same thing, why shouldn't Brits try it as well?
