altus Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 They are having another desperate last ditched attempt: As expected, peers are once again trying to sneak in amendments to the Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill to swiftly pass a law in the UK that would gift spooks and police with sweeping powers to snoop on Brits' internet activity. Amendments to the proposed law were added overnight ahead of the bill reaching the report stage in the House of Lords on Monday. Given they backed down in the face of opposition in the Lords last week, the chances of the amendments being approved is minimal and they'd still have to be approved in the Commons.
