England’s already the snooping capital of the west, isn’t it?

It seems that every time a new privacy-invading technology comes floating down the pike, England just instantly adopts it. They don’t even hesitate -it’s like, “Ooh… new survellance technology? I’ll take that one and that one and that one and… you know what? Just give me the lot!”

And every time, I cynically reflect on the fact that Orwell was English.
