General public opinion was a bit exaggerated as I was talking about the people around me and their open reactions to Snowden's whistle-blowing.
However, if you feel like it, you can read the 1100 comments on this BBC article and enjoy the anti-Snowden sentiment: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24486649 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24486649
Hint: Pay close attention to the 'editor's picks'.
In my opinion the British public seem to see Snowden as a traitor. 'General public opinion' is not verifiable (as you pointed out).
- prof_hobart 13y agoWhereas the people I've talked to about it tend to fall much more into the "disapproving of but not surprised with the NSA" camp. And if you look at the top rated comments, rather than the BBC editor's personal picks, you'll see a fair amount of "Totalitarianism is a far greater threat to freedom than terrorism."-type comments before you get to any attacking Snowden's actions.
