Let us not forget that this is the leader that takes policy direction from what happens in the television dramas he watches. [0]
>"I love watching, as I should probably stop telling people, crime dramas on the television. There is hardly crime drama where a crime is solved without using the data of a mobile communications device.
>"As you move from a world of people having fixed telephones and mobile phones to Skype and phones on the internet, if we don't modernise the practise and modernise the law over time we will have the communications data to solve these horrible crimes on a shrinking proportion of devices. That is a real problem for keeping people safe."

- grkvlt 11y agoIt's a bit of a leap from those statements to "takes policy direction from [...] television dramas he watches" though. I think the Telegraph is being intellectually dishonest. Cameron was using the TV shows as an easily understandable and relatable-to example of what the policies he is promoting involve, not the other way around.
