    Watching this facial recognition crap, it's hard to avoid the impression we have a bunch of 5th-rate hack politicians without guts or brains

        Most of the damage was done with net data retention - few paid enough attention. Laid the groundwork for this type of stuff.

        Yes, I was part of problem, I didn't think that was "too bad." I can't believe the execuse of terrorism is used to do this. #thedrum

        Whenever govt proposes sweeping changes to rights because "terrorism" we need to take a closer look. We're conditioned not to scrutinise.

        Our MPs are apparatchiks. Puppets placed into office to serve the interests of their handlers. They have no mind or conscience of their own.
