Ah, the irony of David Cameron invoking the memory of Magna Carta while dismantling our right to privacy

Without irony the entirety of the British establishment descended on Runnymede yesterday with all the pomp and ceremony the British state can muster. Archbishops, the royal family and the Prime Minister opined on the great document which had forever altered “the balance of power between the governed and the government”. It’s a pity that for over a decade government after government has been desperate to tilt the scales of power once again towards a Leviathan state, and against the people.
