Born Hunter 17,751 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Not antagonistic at all Chris. You're clearly well read on this and have a strong opinion. Personally I am very defence orientated and imo not enough is spent on it and more than enough is spent on healthcare. You personally may not feel terrorised but equally I do not feel like my privacy has been invaded. I'm under no illusion when I say the terror threat IS escalating. Now in the absence of actively and preemptively neutralising all known threats we have to play the democratic long game and to do that my understanding is that our security forces need the right to certain personal infringements on our privacy. Not letting terror scare us is absolutely right, but our stiff upper lip alone didnt fight off the Luftwaffe during the blitz. Bombs, bullets and intelligence did! As you say, the likes of GCHQ have access already, they just need it to be legal so they can use it in a criminal prosecution. Rather than waiting for the bomb to go off first. Oversight!.... or let me carry a Sig! LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
