Britain is the worst country in Europe, and one of the worse in the world when it comes to protecting citizens privacy – according to Privacy International.
The UK is classed in the lowest grade – reserved for societies where citizens face endemic surveillance – with only Russia, China & Malaysia rated more intrusive.
Privacy International have rated Britain fourth from bottom because of her vast network of CCTV cameras, it's plans for a National Identity Card scheme and a severe lack of Government accountability .
PI further stated that Britain's Security camera network, and her DNA database, were the biggest in the world on both counts.
And Privacy International finally said: “This trends leads to the conclusion that all citizens, regardless of legal status, are under suspicion.”
