New rules set to come into force in March will require all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to keep information about every e-mail sent or received in the UK for a year.
As the day grows closer so the opposition becomes more vocal.
The Home Office says that the data - which will not include the content of the emails - will be essential as it tackles high profile crimes like terrorism. But other groups and experts are concerned that it represents the thin end of the privacy wedge. Add to this the government's previous track record in handling personal data, which puts its role as guardian under greater scrutiny.
I like this bit...

What really makes me mad is that they use these so called Anti Terror laws to fine people that put their Rubbish out on a wrong day.
The Labour Government in the UK has been the worst for years, They have added so many taxes and destroyed so much since being in power that its gonna take a long time to put right.
Just see what they are doing in the next year or so, because they know damm well they won't get into power again, for a very long time
