How can we use threats like terrorism for getting a law like this passed when our government have spent the past five years cutting back hard on our defences. Our government have made it blatantly clear from the alarming decline in our national defence system, that they protect our country with a large pinch of salt and a big dose of complacency.

Because of the above ^ I find it strange that the Government are suddenly rushing through new legislation without appropriate public and parliamentary scrutiny. Why are they ignoring the ECJ ruling? No other country within the EU has the authority to snoop and retain public data so why does Britain need to? Does Britain really have more terrorists and paedophiles? like MP David Davies says, its a theatrical emergency where three party leaders made this deal in private, behind closed doors where nobody could hear them.

Is this new law even legal? Steve Peers, professor of EU law and human rights law at the University of Essex http://eulawanalysis.blogspot.co.uk/...tion-bill.html
