**Anthony Barnett (London,** [**OK**](http://ourkingdom.opendemocracy.net/?ref=opendemocracy.net)**):** This is a very disturbing post by [Claire Provost](http://www.newstatesman.com/200805030006?ref=opendemocracy.net) in the New Statesman. If ever there are ever wide scale demonstrations against the authoritarian powers new Labour is granting itself, from ID cards to 42 days to the next war, we can expect FIT to know our every move. They have powers to monitor all email – mine and yours. You don't know what FIT is? I suggest you read the post and... prepare to protest. Has Boris said anything about it?
