As I am sure most on this site are aware I am no fan of liberal thinking, however on this one I have to agree with them.

The 'snoopers charter' was one step too far. Yes, I know monitoring has to go on, but it should be applied for from the courts, for a specific purpose and time. And should it reveal nothing at all should be destroyed.

After all, we never had all our mail opened and photocopied 'in the old days'

It didn't help May's cause that she refused to tell anyone how the data was collected. A request from a Conservative MP was ignored and the Information Commissioner has now ordered her to provide the information.

// The Information Commissioner has now ordered the Home Office to publish advice ministers received on the design, cost and risks of the new filtering system by May 11.

Dominic Raab, a Tory MP with an interest in human rights, requested the advice in a Freedom of Information request last summer, but Mrs May’s department has refused to publish the guidance citing “national security” concerns.

If you believe Clegg, who has been shown to be a liar several times in the past, then you're very naive. He will sell his own grandmother to remain in power.

Not sure you are right ymb. I would have thought that MI5 and MI6 have intercepting all sorts of communications for years and years, under governments of both political hues.

I am tending to agree with you canary, although you are perhaps being a tad harsh.

Clegg is at last finding out the when you choose to sup with the Devil, you need a very long spoon !
