We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to withdraw the Government's support for the Communications Data Bill. More details
Submitted by Callum Wood – Deadline to sign up by: 30 May 2009 – Signatures: 967
The Communications Data Bill would give the Government the legal authority to collect a database of every phone call, e-mail and time spent on the internet by the public. Even though the Government insists that this bill would reduce terrorism (which it probably will not), this is an intolerable intrusion into the privacy of free citizens and a step towards a dystopian "Big Brother" state. The Bill must be quashed to protect civil liberties and halt the slippery slope towards an Orwellian 1984-type nightmare.
