This is kind of funny, in a sad way. I mean in the USA the NSA is still saying that the never, never spy on private information, maybe sometimes, in rare cases, on non americans.

While in england they are all like, "No more spying in secret, time to actually take your rights away".

The english are hardcore, the NSA has more freedom in england than in the US. Sad, but funny.
