I've tried to keep out of the Scottish Independence debate, for virtue of that I haven't lived in Scotland for four years, however it is a topic which evokes strong emotions in me through the possibility of further losing ties to my homeland.

I do not get a vote in this referendum, nor should I, but this has not stopped me from forming an opinion.

I have seen a lot of wishy thinking and hollow policies from the Yes campaign, and a lot of fear mongering and back-handed tricks from the No campaign. I have seen passionate and convincing debate from both sides, and have found myself supporting either side at one time or another.

Dear Emily Thornberry,

I write to you with a simple hypothetical. Imagine the ISP TalkTalk were required by law to retain 12 months worth of internet access history, now imagine the result of their recent security breach given this.

None of it legally sensitive, but personally devastating.

TalkTalk are not alone: BT, Virgin and Sky have all had data breaches go public. As long as data security continues to be overlooked at these companies and many others, data breaches will continue to happen. The only way to safe guard the above information from attack, is to not have it at all.

If the proposed Draft Investigatory Powers Bill were to pass, the above would become an all too common reality. Nobody argues against the need for our security serv
