Paranoid Idiot Smith Database EU Fantasists

Not content with plans to put everyone under surveillance, the British government now want to let a private company look after it all for us. That's to save money and make it more secure. Don't laugh. Idiot Smith is in charge.

Meanwhile that nice chap at the Council of Europe, Mr Hammarberg, has criticised it as a violation of individual privacy.

The retention of communications data will be going ahead one way or another, since the EU (not the Council of Europe) has issued a directive saying so.

Funny how there's not a mention of this fact in either article.
