UK Government plans to roll back state intrusion by spying on you

In 2010, David Cameron and Nick Clegg promised that their coalition government will introduce a Freedom Bill that will "implement a full programme of measures to reverse the substantial erosion of civil liberties and roll back state intrusion."

Now in 2012, we have the Communications Capabilities Development Programme, another proposal for mass surveillance of British citizens' communications.

Strange, what with Europe's ACTA, America's PIPA and SOPA and Canada's C-30, you'd think that governments were working together to deprive citizens of their freedom. Excuse me while I put on my tin-foil hat.
