Re: Funny that......
And of course our own spooks are are heavily involved. I wouldn't be surprised if after Brexit the EU starts running cables to the US from Spain/France to opt out of our spooks' surveillance.
And of course if you'e an 'enemy of the state', a climate protestor perhaps, a seditious Scottish independence campaigner or a member of CND. I lay claim to the last two. People are known to have MI5 files for less.
I don't think I'm worth it, I'm just a foot soldier, but that doesn't seem to stop them.
