'At present, unauthorised disclosure of classified information carries a maximum sentence of two years in jail. The commission believes the maximum sentence should be raised. The Telegraph reports potentially up to 14 years. And while currently the law only applies to UK citizens, the commission advises it should apply to anyone, anywhere in the world.'
Holding a govt to account is democracy, the proposal is the threat of autocracy.
See the quote? That applies to everyone everywhere, not those who have signed the official secrets act..everyone.
Big brother is watching you, but if you watch him you go to jail for 14yrs.
