SURVEILLANCE IS OUT OF CONTROL

A former under cover police officer has blown the whistle on who the police were spying on:

Peter Francis, who spent four years undercover infiltrating political activists, has named five trade unions whose members he spied on. He said they were Unison, the Fire Brigades Union, Communication Workers Union, National Union of Teachers, and the National Union of Students.

Meanwhile, at the same time preparations were being made to smuggle international cutthroat Jihadis into Syria, a policy that has eventually led to the rise of Islamic State and the threat to national security that they pose, a threat that MI5 and MI6 welcome because they get to benefit from more surveillance powers.

But as this report shows, postmen, teachers and firemen was spied on!!!!

And the ISC only a few days ago said that mass surveillance is good for us?!
