I am surprised he did not also try for the paedophile angle. Those are the 2 old chestnuts always pulled out to justify government/police surveillance.

Meanwhile, back in the UK, government is using terrorist introduced legislation to spy on people overfilling their garbage bins....

Which would be very funny if it were not true.

Sounds like a great story to share. What's happening in the UK with garbage and surveillance?

Considering the growing public evidence of really nasty paedophile networks in and around Westminster, it's not the bins we should be worrying about.
