"... the Conservatives, who promised to dismantle the nanny state, has (sic) found themselves building a digital Big Brother state – so overbearing over our private lives that it orders tens of millions of our bank statements to be constantly rifled through in secret. This trajectory foretells a curtailing of liberty for the generation growing up in a digital world. Whilst millions of us still carefully shred our paper bank statements each month, digital finance now means that unwelcome intruders, whether criminals or the state, can get access to our private information in the digital shadows, whether we like it or not and even without us knowing."
