At the risk of sounding troublingly like a particularly hysterical Daily Mail headline, why is it that just about everything this Government announces makes one groan with baffled dismay, before expectorating a vivid "fuck you"?
Police may get more data powers
Jacqui Smith has set out plans to give the police and security services more powers to gather phone and e-mail data.The home secretary said police risked losing the ability to fight crime and terrorism without new laws.
Reports suggest the government wants a single database to store details of every UK phone call and e-mail sent.
Ms Smith stressed the "content" of e-mails would not be stored but she said consultation would be launched in the New Year on what the new laws would be.
Plans to collect more data on people's phone, e-mail and web-browsing habits are expected to be included in the Communications Data Bill, due to be introduced in the Queen's Speech in November.
Ah, yes, this is why.
Please consider this my response to your consultation: "fuck you".
