I've been living in the UK for 2 years now, and just came back from several months in China.

Having been fairly 'cautious' about the surveillance situation in China, I returned only to realise it isn't a whole lot better here, and not improving.

Kinda glad I won't be staying in the UK, this is not a good direction to be going.

It's very sad to read this. Often you read comparisons from Westerners comparing UK privacy laws to China's and it's easy to brush it off as being sensationalist. But to hear that from someone living in China is really worrying.
