A spoiled brat for thinking the public have a right to know what their government is up to? Wow, you have no idea what democracy and accountability are, do you?
It is a chilling statement but not surprising in the slightest.
This is the same Home Office who think it is a good idea to send mobile billboards directed at illegal immigrants around London.
The same Home Office who thought the Draft Communication Bill was a good idea.
The same Home Office who have no idea how the Internet works and seem to have no understanding of what digital means in the dissemination of leaked documents.
I would expect nothing less from such an inept Home Office.
This is getting fucking ridiculous now. The UK gets more and more like Iran/Syria/North Korea every day and yet they have the audacity to go on and on about the various violations in those countries.
We need to get these corrupt and incompetent politicians out ASAP and vote in someone truly liberal who feels strongly about freedom of the press and the right to privacy.

Re: Please Please Please
Now, you and I may realise that detaining someone under anti terrorism laws on that basis is ludicrous but, sadly, the UK authorities lack such sense.
On the post: MP Keith Vaz: If Anti-Terrorist Law Is Going To Be Abused To Detain Non-Terrorists, We Should At Least Be Upfront About It
WRONG! Anti terrorist laws should have anti abuse protections built in.
He may as well say "We are going to detain you without cause and without regard for your rights but we promise to to be open and honest about it".

On the post: The NSA Reveals That It Does 20 Million Database Queries Per Month
Re: How many of those use "direct access" to Google's servers?
Two sides of the same coin. The NSA uses the private corporations to harvest data on the population.
Corporate spying alone is way down the list because people have the choice as to whether or not they want to use that company's services.
I don't know why I bothered because you will inevitably ignore what I said and continue with your anti corporation rants.

Proof
If there is the potential for a law to be abused, abuse is inevitable.
Pity we will not get change because the UK has become a nation of unthinking, unquestioning sheep who do not care about others as long as they are OK.
We need a truly liberal government, not the neo-liberal mess we have now.
