It is abhorrent that we allow our politicians, supposedly there to serve us and paid by us, to set their employees to spy on the activities of the rest of us.
Where there is already evidence of criminal activity then the present UK system of a surveillance warrant being authorised by a magistrate is perfectly adequate.
It is when those highly paid politicians introduce such as this that I start to consider civil disobedience and anarchy are becoming not only justified but necessary.
But how can it be civil disobedience when we decide to disobey those we pay to serve us when they exceed themselves?
