- cryoshon 13y agoHow do you propose? Political action has been ineffective so far.
- neuralk 13y agoHas there been any political action in the UK yet? I'm American and hadn't heard of any British politicians speaking out against GCHQ.
- cryoshon 13y agoI'm not sure. I know that in the USA the political action has been largely irrelevant and low profile, though it has weakly galvanized politicians who were anti-NSA before the leaks were even public knowledge.
- noir_lord 13y agoI'm in the UK and have been following this story pretty closely and I can't think of a single politician who has spoken about it never mind against it. I've seen the odd report (and it's very odd when they do report it indeed) on Newsnight where they had some mouthpiece using the "Oh in the wrong hands this would be dangerous but we are the right hands line" alongside the always popular "If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear" and the fun "We stuck strictly within the framework we where told to".
- jedifans 13y agoAt the very least, I think Tom Watson MP will call this out.
