There is currently a "significant push" from Conservative ministers to revive the controversial Communications Data Bill – described by critics as as a 'snoopers charter' – in the Conservative manifesto.

Also they're sharp as ever at invoking whatever they can to justify it:
Quote:
In May last year Drummer Rigby was hacked to death by Michael Adebolajo and his accomplice, Michael Adebowale, in front of passers-by in Woolwich, south east London.
The Intelligence and Security Committee, the parliamentary body which scrutinises the services, has been told by MI5 that in the six months up to the murder there were "a number of incidents" where Adebolajo signalled his intent on the Internet.
However, the clues were not obtained until after his death because the information was held by Internet service providers in the US. Officials have claimed that the US legal system made it difficult to obtain the information.

Really? Because I imagine if you started looking you could find it pretty quickly. I think the problem was that they didn't even think to look into these 'incidents' until they looked into the killers backgrounds. An issue that wouldn't have been prevented had they been able to get to that data quicker. Incidentally that legal system is there to protect American citizens, shows the contempt to which the Government thinks of our legal rights.
