Councils and health authorities are to be given the right to access e-mail and internet records under surveillance powers to be introduced next year, the Home Office said yesterday.

Although first proposed to tackle terrorism and serious crime, powers have been extended to cover other criminal activity, public health, threats to public safety and even prevention of self-harm.

Here we go again! Power creep by the retarded government. Soon, this power will be extended to anyone, to be used against anyone who has thoughts against this government, or thinks about voting against the government at the next election. Since this is a Terrorism power, does this mean when the local retards decide to check my email, they will brand me a Terrorist?
