From today's Guardian at http://www.guardian.co.uk/globalisation/story/0,7369,849983,00.html ----------- Good morning.

This bill demands that data relating to the personal details of citizens (mobile phone calls, internet usage etc.) be retained for up to four years as opposed to a shorter period for billing purposes (c. 6 months) as was previously the case. This bill contravenes European directives on privacy and is one we should keep a close eye on, because it certainly seems the Government intends to keep a close eye on us! ... read full story / add a comment
