Yesterday, browsing the BBC website, knowing it was April Fool's Day, an article caught my eye that I couldn't believe would ever be possibly true. In it, I read that under a new legislation set to be announced soon, the government will be able to monitor the calls, emails, texts and website visits of everyone in the UK.
When the law flies in the face of common scientific understanding, it is a situation that only impacts on those who could benefit from being prescribed a drug known to help them. The real victims, as is often the case in the UK, are the most vulnerable who could benefit from political rhetoric ceasing and commonsense leading to a law change.
