We've been bombarded by the same FUD in the UK and across Europe since 9/11.
Anyone capable of rational thinking knows it's nonsense, a power-grab by politicians, law enforcement and the security services looking for mass surveillance; overreaching powers that will inevitably be misused, abused and slowly creep into other areas of government.
And yet the bombardment continues, banging on about terrorists, paedophiles, the Russians, the Chinese, the bugbear de-jour.
Honestly, I fear for what is happening to Western democracies just now - it feels like we're on a slow but steady march to an Orwellian nightmare I don't want to live it.
