SCRAP PLANS TO SPY ON EMAILS, TEXTS AND CALLS
The Government wants to introduce new laws which will allow them to spy on the emails, texts, calls and website visits of everyone in the UK.
They plan to introduce the 'Orwellian' legislation in the upcoming Queens Speech in May this year.
The proposals could put the UK's surveillance on a similar footing to China and Iran. Shami Chakrabarti, director of Liberty, said this is "a pretty drastic step in a democracy."
This petition calls on the Government to:
Abandon their plans to introduce a 'big brother' style monitoring system of the emails, texts, calls and internet usage of UK citizens.
