Some?

There's bloody thousands of them already. After all the strife of the last ten days, I reckon the very last thing Cameron wants is his very own Spartacus moment.

I'm up for it

I must admit, the idea tickles me pink.

So I think that's a 'me too'.

Difference is that "Microsoft, apple, google etc" can't arrest you for it.

Quote Mintball="Mintball"I love the idea that the Tories (rightly) opposed such ideas when in opposition – and have now done a complete about face, for no apparent new reason that has been declared. Anyway, how about us all starting now by ccing every email you post to david.cameron@number10.gov.uk?'" TBF David Davis is agin it and he says he's a tory.

Last time I looked 95% + of Daily Telegraph readers were against it too.

I'm on it too Minty, already posting it to Facebook....

As ever, the only people who will lose out over this are people with something to hide.

I personally don't care if they have access to everything I do. If it saves one life, it's worth it IMO.

I'm sometimes pleased that my old man is no longer around. I dread to think what him and his mates would think of an imbecilic attitude like yours, after they'd spent 6 years fighting on three continents to oppose pervasive regimes. Then you come along and would happily sign away any hard-fought freedoms, in the name of the mythical war on terror.

I wondered how long before someone would emerge with the cretinous old 'if you've nothing to hide' excuse for an argument.

But at least this was only a trolling use of it ...

Cut out the middleman and just hand everything over to the local police, with a copy to GCHQ in Cheltenham and MI5 in London. Then you can relax and not worry about anything at all. Ever.

Why is it cretinous just because you don't agree with it? You are very predictable when it comes to politics, basically adopting an anti-Government approach to just about everything.

These powers do not mean they will be snooping on the average person's Facebook account or reading their emails. All it means is that they could, should they need to. There is a difference there.

Why do you object to it? If it gives them more power to deal with potential serious criminality, what is the downside?
