It will allow security services and the police to spy on the activities of every Briton who uses a phone or the internet.

But can we really afford to believe anything they say?

I find it odd that for a country which is supposedly "broke" and "needs to save money" because "we're all in this together" (we more than them of course) they can still find the cash for Nu-Liebour's Orwellian schemes.

To store all content detail would at least be ten times more expensive. They won't do it.
