In a speech later at a reception for journalists at the Irish Embassy in London, Mr Clegg is expected to say: "The irony appears to be lost on some politicians who say in one breath that they will defend freedom of expression and then, in the next, advocate a huge encroachment on the freedom of all British citizens.
"Let me be really clear, we have every right to invade the privacy of terrorists and those we think want to do us harm - but we should not equate that with invading the privacy of every single person in the UK. They are not the same thing.
Yes, Clegg right again.
The politicians, in one minute linking arms and guaranteeing freedom while at the same time planning to take freedoms away from everyone !
... and what will this snooping unearth?
BOTH ther Lee Rigby killers and the Paris bombers were already know to the security services (who dropped the baton by failing to monitor them).
Do we really need to go hunting for more "suspects" when we cannot deal with those already identified ?
