Theresa May is the current Home Secretary. She has been aggressive in her support for the deep state's mass surveillance.
Contents
Legalisation of Mass surveillance
After Edward Snowden's revelations of illegal mass surveillance by the UK intelligence agencies (especially GCHQ), Theresa May did not respond by announcing that the perpetrators would be arrested. Instead, in November 2015, she announced new surveillance legislation that explicitly legalised such surveillance while mandated that ISPs assist such surveillance by requiring them to keep logs, for example, the addresses of all web pages visited by their customers in the last 12 months.[1]
Education
On becoming home secretary it was widely reported in the media that May had been educated at a comprehensive school.[2][3] In 2007 Peter Hitchens disputed this claim:
- Now, here's the interesting thing. Mrs May joined Holton Grammar at the age of 13 (later than the usual 11) from a private school, in 1969. She then had about two years of grammar school education. And she completed her schooling at a new comprehensive, successfully enough to win a place at St Hugh's, then a women-only college at Oxford. But in 'Dod's Parliamentary Companion', the more detailed 'Who's Who' for MPs, she sums up her secondary schooling as 'Educated at Wheatley Park Comprehensive School'. As you see, it's a lot more complicated than that. And I don't think she needed to use the word 'comprehensive' when describing her school.[4]

| Document:Margaret Thatcher Ruined Britain | blog post | 30 December 2021 | Clifford Thurlow | Margaret Thatcher ruined Britain with her hard-right policies and the five Conservative prime ministers, since her party knifed her in the back the Tory way, have carelessly kicked over the remains. Each has been worse than the last in descending order – John Major, David Cameron, Theresa May, liar Boris Johnson and finally Liz Truss, a puppet with a wooden heart and personal photographer. |
