The UK’s surveillance regime has once again been declared unlawful by the courts.

The Government cannot simply tinker around the edges and hope for a different result.

What we need is a full overhaul over the system that puts protecting our freedoms and civil liberties at it’s very core.

What we need is for our police and intelligence services to be given the resources and money they need to do their job, not endless new laws.
