With all of that going on you could be excused for not noticing that the government passed a bill at the end of last month allowing them to keep an eye on and store all your electronic communications, just to make sure that you are not up to anything naughty. I’m guessing you’ve put down that tinsel now as that can come as quite a surprise.
