The Government plans to monitor all our activity including emails, texts and social networking. They say that ordinary people have nothing to fear, I am afraid that this is a further step to curtail our freedoms by the government. My question is why is the government so afraid of its citizens having freedom of speech and why does it need to monitor us? Recent news and longterm history shows that it is the government and the "ruling class" who need monitoring, not ordinary people! We need to work together to stop this NOW!!!
