This looks to be way over the top to me. How long will it be before we start hearing the same, "if you're not doing anything wrong, you've got nothing to worry about" argument for CCTV which made us the most monitored population in the world?
"Labour and the Conservatives could unite to push through the controversial communications bill despite Lib Dem objections, a former Tory leader says.
The (original) bill, allowing the monitoring of all UK citizens' internet use, was dropped after a split in the coalition.
The Communications Data Bill would have given police and security services access, without a warrant, to details of all online communication in the UK - such as the time, duration, originator and recipient, and the location of the device from which it was made.
It would also give access to all Britons' web browsing history and details of messages sent on social media."

I will make prediction here....if this is going to be forced through the LibDems will dissolve the coalition
