Tony Blair now wants to spy on MPs

This would overturn a 40 year ban on MI5 spying on MPs. How is it that two of the major players in the Cold War against the Soviet Union have become more and more like that old regime? The UK already spies on so many of its citizens email, calls, their driving habits and now this. Where did these people ever learn about democracy? From Stalin? Mugabe? No wonder the rest of the world scoffs at the US and UK blather about democracy when our governments are implementing police state laws like this.
