Once the state was the servant of the people, but now it's becoming the master of the people. Never have the British people had to explain themselves to the state unless the state had grounds for suspicion. That relationship has been rebalanced.

And it's all fine under a benign government. However, I don't believe this government is benign enough to merit that kind of trust, and I'm certainly not prepared to believe that all future governments will be.
