- keithpeter 13y agoI'm not sure, but the fact that they want to 'do something' indicates a reaction to the status quo. In the UK, we have a sort of passive acceptance of high levels of surveillance of the home population going back to the Northern Ireland Emergency starting 1968. It will need a lot to move the politicians away from that.
