Les Anglais votent en loucedé une nouvelle loi de #surveillance. Avec semble t’il un #consensus inter dirigeants. Ça me rappelle quelque chose ...
Don’t call this the surveillance status quo – it’s a cross-party stitch-up

The official line from the three party leaders is the emergency legislation to be pushed through by the Executive with the collaboration of Her Majesty’s Opposition next week, is merely the continuation of the “status quo” on surveillance. No new measures, they say, and some new safeguards too. What we are being led to believe is that a brave Nick Clegg faced down calls for a new Communications Data Bill (the Snooper’s Charter) and this legislation is merely a tidying up exercise.
It’s a nonsense. Our hard-fought-for liberties are being eroded by a cozy consensus not within the political parties, but by Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and David Cameron alone, who, fearing public opinion, are bending over backwards to accommodate the wishes of a clique in the Home Office.
