Oh, Oh. Another Home Secretary Gets the GCHQ Power Point Session

Seems that every political nobody who gets appointed Home Secretary visits the Donut in Gloucestershire gets the same old pack of lies which they then repeat ad nauseum in public.

Privacy is a Human Right.

Privacy is a fundamental human right recognized in the UN Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and in many other international and regional treaties. Privacy underpins human dignity and other key values such as freedom of association and freedom of speech. (Britain is a signatory)

The Human Rights Act is a UK law passed in 1998. It means that you can defend your rights in the UK courts and that public organisations (including the Government, the Police and local councils) must treat everyone equally, with fairness, dignity and respect.

Pity the Home Secretary doesn't do some reading before opening her mouth.
