    Just passing this on, the rest is up to you..........................
    ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Today, the government laid out its plan for massive new powers to invade our privacy online. [1] It’s bad. Information about who we’ve emailed, websites we’ve visited and much more will be routinely available to the government.

    People power can stop this invasion of our privacy. Over 150,000 of us have already signed the petition. And today’s papers mention the size of our petition as evidence that the government may struggle to get its plans through. [2]

    We’re going to need huge numbers of people if we’re going to work together to defeat these Big Brother plans. Every single extra name on the petition will help. Can you ask your friends and family to take 30 seconds to sign it?

    You can forward this email and ask them to sign the petition here:

    The government’s plan would mean phone and internet companies would have to keep details of your use of email, websites you’ve visited, phone calls you’ve made over the internet and how you've used Facebook and Twitter - for a whole year. [3]

    Theresa May, the Home Secretary, today claimed that the plans would only affect terrorists and *****philes - and called people who value their privacy from government “conspiracy theorists”. [4] But that’s simply not true - the plans would allow the government to spy on every one of us. [5]

    Let’s show Theresa May that there are huge numbers of people in this country who value their freedom and privacy as private citizens - and that doesn’t make us “conspiracy theorists”. Can you help grow the campaign by asking more people to sign the petition?

    I'm signing it and persuading all my friends too.
    FFS this is reminiscent of the Stasi! So its wrong for the press to hack politicians phones but they can do the same to us in "our best interests" and to protect us from terrorists!! We have more chance of being killed by a family member than any ****ing terrorist!
    Why don't these ****s just install cctv in all our homes and be done with it.
    I ****ing hate what this country is becoming

    I'm convinced MI5 can get all that info anyway at the moment.

    Agree with ACS on this in that if necessary they can get whatever info necessary.
    I have signed the petition but feel what they are proposing will be impossible to police anyway.
