UK's new Snoopers' Charter just passed an encryption backdoor law by the backdoor

All this is ironic when the people that have managed to waste the most money, and kill the most people are our neoliberal politicians - £75 billion down the drain and hundreds of thousands dead in Iraq to give us ISIS, £275 billion wasted on PFI, £375 billion on bank bailouts after disastrously de-regulating them, smart meters £25 billion, corporate tax avoidance by multinationals up to £80 billion/year - the list of incompetent corrupt failure from neoliberals in both main parties goes on and on.

If anyone needs snooping on it isn't the public - but the 'elite'. Unfortunately this is building a system where an future sociopath PM can blackmail fellow MP's and constituents. Its a poorly thought out, disastrous policy. Unless of course you are trying to build a Utopian neo feudal society of overlords and plebs.

I doubt a single terrorist is ever going to be caught with these measures. Unless of course they are going to bomb us with pasties filled with explosives and the Food Standards Agency manages to intercept them...
