Read it and weep, all you idiot labour voters.

I should care but I don't. In fact I think that anyone who doesn't know half decent counter-surveillence and anti-bugging techniques deserves to be spied on. Their stupidity is a risk to the country.

Really, if you take a look at the policies of both Tory and Labor groups, they are basically the same. So I'd say, read it and weep, everyone in Britain.

Its the same in the United States...they just swept the laws further under the rug and they have been there for quite some time too.

Like any other party would do different, the Tories would put Cameras in our houses.

Here's the letter I faxed to my MP (a tory). I encourage everyone else to do the same at www.faxyourmp.com
To:
Mr Jonathan Sayeed
MP for Mid Bedfordshire
House Of Commons
London
SW1A 0AA
Sunday 16 June 2002
Dear Mr Jonathan Sayeed
I am concerned about the extension to the RIP bill that is to be debated in Parliament shortly and as your constituent, ask of you to oppose it. It is an abusive and unnecessary extension to an already heavily intrusive act. This will allow multiple government departments that have nothing to do with law enforcement to access all manner of information on us without a Warrant. There is quite simply no need for such a high level of surveillance.
Whilst there is a need for the Police to be granted a limited amount of authority to combat practices like online Pedophillia in law, there is no need every government department from the department of transport to the Post office to legally obtain data about me without a warrant. A careful balance should be kept between the need to investigate crime and the civil rights of the individual that were once granted in the Data Protection act. This act gives unprecedented power to those not even involved with investigating crime without a thought for an individual's rights (A practice disturbingly commonplace in Blair's government) without increasing the efficiency of the police to combat crime in the slightest. The law already gives them ample powers.
Not to mention the potential for abuse that this act has. I'm sure you are already aware of the situation with Stephen Byers's Special Advisers, who tried to smear members of the Paddington Rail Crash Survivors Group. This act would have made it infinately easier for them to do so. Giving the Ministry of Transport the legal right to keep record of all of the phone calls they made, a list of all the websites they visited and read all of their e-mail. I hope you agree that this scandalous invasion of our privacy needs to be fought at all opportunities.
Yours Sincearly
