Not Smiths fault this time
This legislation was drafted before Smith took office so though I'm certainly not a fan of any NuLab politician I think the blame for this invasion of peoples private lives goes to Martin Salter MP for Reading, he might like to hear your views on the subject.
Also for our Scottish reader(s) the same legislation is being passed in Scotland under a different name but it's still the CJP so no you haven't got away "Scot Free"
