Government black boxes will 'collect every email' - The Independent
The Independent reports: "Plans to create a database holding information about every phone call, email and internet visit made in the UK have provoked a huge public outcry. Richard Thomas, the Information Commissioner, described it as 'step too far' and the Government's own terrorism watchdog said that as a 'raw idea' it was 'awful'."

Comment: It's a sad thing to see the UK becoming the embodiment of the Orwellian surveillance society. As the slogan goes, 1984 was meant to be a warning, not a guide for governments. Hopefully, the British voters won't stand for it and MPs will force the government to abandon these plans.
