Did you know that your local Council, along with some 700 other public bodies in the UK can now access your mobile and land line telephone records which all service providers are now obliged to keep? Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat spokesman on home affairs said that this further extension to spy on our private lives was done "with no meaningful public or parliamentary debate". The Government claims full consultation had taken place. The key word is ' meaningful'. The measure, slipped through in the summer by the personal decree of the Home Secretary, was not debated with anyone who might oppose it.
