This is not about the surveillance state. Just an excuse to try and gain some traction and support.
Far more worrying is the data mined on individuals for commercial enterprise. I have nothing to hide, so I couldn't give a crap if the UK government wanted to waste time looking at at me, which of course is highly unlikely, despite what conspiracy theorists may believe.
What I do care about is the intrusion of privacy of my personal data, by commercial entities. Who think it is acceptable to create a profile on me and sell it for further gain, to undisclosed third parties, to target me for other commercial activity to make more money or use my data for other nefarious enterprises.
