Right, because GCHQ doesn't/hasn't/never would do such a thing...

At least the US has a written constitution and the concept of the people being sovereign.

I'll take that over trusting "Her Majesty's..." whatever.

But then again, I'm Irish, so I have a bit more direct personal and familial experience of the darker side of British "civilization". (EG: While detention without trial is relatively NEW in the US, it's been a fact of life in the UK for most of its history).
