So, it’s easy understandable how uncomfortable David Cameron could have been at the last EU Council meeting in Brussels, where he found the other Council members concerned about the necessity of a new data protection legislation, request that was marked as «unrealistic» by British Prime Minister.
Moreover, The Independent delicately underlined the fact that Cameron had to face “questions” related to the fact that the GCHQ have been accused of having hacked Belgacom communication network, a Belgian telecommunication company that provides its services to the EU institutions.
The Independent also enlightened how Cameron defended Britain's spy services anyway, pointing his finger directly to Edward Snowden who «is frankly signalling to people who mean to do us harm how to evade and avoid intelligence and surveillance».
The Guardian and The Daily Mail started a quarrel precisely about the “finding the true culprit” issue. The Guardian, a well-known politically independent headline that has published all Snowden’s revelations so far, didn’t save the government form harsh criticism about its role in the whole surveillance disclosures saga; on the other side, The Daily Mail constantly supports the British government and British secret services in the national security name.
This snap-shot might illustrate what’s the political atmosphere in London. Anyway, beyond all the shades, beyond all the political sides, and beyond the unquestionable truth, the British government has been negatively marked and now it’s finding itself trapped in a political labyrinth from which is desperately trying to escape.
