Excessive surveillance will only foster a climate of suspicion. Suspicion that we are owned by the big guys and could face social exclusion and discrimination if we dare to stand up against a system that is rapidly controlling our every move.

Look towards North Koreans and the fear caused by mass surveillance. There is nothing democratic about what our government are up to.

Firstly, when you say "our" text and email messages, I think you're overestimating the interest they may have in you.

Secondly... North Korea? LOL...

I feel VERY safe. I know that my best interests are being served by our Security Services. If you don't... well, you live in France a lot of the time, didn't you say? I'm sure you feel more secure there without quite so much surveillance, but with the random terror attacks.
