Charles Clarke, privacy and security
Charles Clarke (the UK Home Secretary) has been addressing the European Parliament. In his speech, he said that Europe must trade civil liberties for security. We must, must we? He also said that the European Convention on Human Rights might need to be changed. Even though he admits that the case for these laws has not been made!
Is anyone else getting more worried about the British presidency of the EU? Not content with trying to pass draconian, unnecessary and almost-certainly pointless anti-privacy laws in the UK, they are now trying to harmonise this process across the EU. Human rights be damned!
