Every phone call, email and internet click stored by 'state spying' databases in UK

All telecoms companies and internet service providers will be required by law to keep a record of every customer's personal communications, showing who they are contacting, when, where and which websites they are visiting.

Despite widespread opposition over Britain's growing surveillance society, 653 public bodies will be given access to the confidential information, including police, local councils, the Financial Services Authority, the Ambulance Service, fire authorities and even prison governors.

Ed. Your nanny's just become your big brother. UK is not only a 'nanny' state but now on the verge of becoming a full on 'Big Brother' society. There I thought British politicians were too busy fiddling expenses to actually pass any meaningful legislation. Problem is when they do, it's simply to screw the British people again.

Britain is clearly a county splt in two. The haves and have nots and if you're unfortunate enough to be a have not then you are viewed as nothing more than a peasant by the establishment. The rights of working class Brits is now back to pre World War 1 levels. You better start learning how to doff your forelock.....

Also make no mistake, 'Big Brother' is there to protect the haves from the have nots as much as it is to protect Brits from terrorists.

What can the peasant class do to improve their lot. Well they have only one peaceful weapon. The vote. They should use it to ensure that not one sitting MP is re-elected. They should vote for Screaming Lord Sutch before they vote for a sitting MP. Clear the current lot out and and let the new lot know that unless they improve things for the peasant class then they'll be out too. Problem is, with the way electoral districts are rigged, it will probably mean that haves can easily re-elect their favoured politicians regardless of what the have nots do. 

This article written in 2007 in the Independent raised valid concerns but they've clearly been ignored.

If the Telegraph article is to be believed, then this post will probably trigger all sorts of alarms. And there I thought I was just passing an opinion? A crime for the 21st Centur y.
