Law enforcement would have access to IP addresses, email addresses, when you send an email, and corresponding data for phone calls and text messages. The government has claimed this is needed to fight terrorism, but it would be available to law enforcement for all purposes...

    • Guilty until proven innocent. Isn't what the convoluted decree was
      during the French Revolution ? Btw, called the " Reign of Terror "
      Kind of shows up these 2 faced, hypocritical, glorified evil anuses
      for what they realy are, no ? Maybe they want to eavesdrop and
      hear the sounds Sophie Reade makes when she moans on a hot
      date.

    • Not surprising that a good honest culture like the Brits have had
      would have, nonetheless, gone mad. Though it's just as much a
      shame too that it has. The more they stare the less they see. The
      more they eavesdrop, the less they hear. It's not to keep the real
      terrorists out ( if they even exist at all ) It's to keep the prisoners in.

      For those of you who, as Roger McQuin sang " weren't born to follow "
      and also weren't born yesterday, way back during the Summer of Love
      in 1967, Patrick McGoohan starred in a cult classic Summer TV series
      from the Brittish Isles called The Prisoner. He'd starred in other spy
      thriller TV series like Secret Agent, movies like Ice Station Zebra
      when the Cold War with the then Soviet Union was more pronounced.

      Anyway, The Prisoner was a satire on totalitarianism. He resigned
      as a spy for MI6, but like the Mafia, it was for life, and they still didn't
      trust him. So they gassed him in his flat, abducted him, and took him
      to " the Village " where the other prisoners functioned as pawns on
      a chessboard located in the Village square, moved by trol lifeguards
      announcing commands with a megaphone. The Village was near a
      beach ( of course ). And if any prisoner tried to escape by swimming
      out into the channel, their command & control center surveiling them
      with spy cameras allways would spot them. Then they'd release this
      realy freaky gigantic bubble from the bottom of the sea floor, which
      would rise, and engulf the prisoner escaping like an antibody cell
      engulfing a foreign invader in a human immune system. The giganta
      bubble would then harmlessly roll the escaping prisoner back into the
      Village to show the Prisoners there was no escape possible because
      it was all a prison planet now as far as they were concerned. The Prison
      had simply moved to the out of doors instead of any isolated location.

      To be alive was itself a crime, punishable by life imprisonment w/o rights.
      So there was no need for razor wire or men with rifles on watchtowers.
      It was realy quite the show in it's time. But from the people who brought
      you 1984 and Animal Farm, what other variation of mass paranoid
      scitzophenia would you expect, no ? The very idea of maintaining a
      universal surveilance on everything is so extreme & imbalanced it's
      insane. Who would watch the watchers to prevent criminal abuse ???
      When cameras are outlawed only the criminaly insane will have & use them.

    • The british have always monitored communications. And others ( USA ) have followed that tradition despite any constitution or bill of rights. Evil is as evil does.

    • Pay attention Americans. What happens in the U.K. comes to U.S. shores soon after.
      Often times the Anglo-American Establishment beta tests their Orwellian initiatives in their completely controlled laboratory known as the British Isles before attempting mass implementation in the United States.

      In some instances, yes. The U.S. "terrorist" attack and never ending war on a tactic preceded the London subway bombings. In other cases, the geographic size of of the British isles, its separation from a major continent, comparatively more homogenous population, lack of written Constitution/Bill of Rights, make the isles the ideal laboratory for experimenting with Orwellian social engineering programs and initiatives.

      But in the long run it's probably more helpful to view them both as moving in tandem.

      The Anglo-American elite are neither British nor American but something else. They are not loyal to either country and could care less about the individual welfare of either country so long as their power base is strengthened. When they look at a map they don't see the U.S. and the United Kingdom, all they see is the Anglo-American Empire.
