Big brother Britain - £380 a minute to be spent tracking internet clicks
An astonishing £380 a minute will be spent on surveillance in a massive expansion of the Big Brother state.
The £200million-a-year sum will give officials access to details of every internet click made by every citizen - on top of the email and telephone records already available.
It is a 1,700 per cent increase on the cost of the current surveillance regime.
Last night LibDem home affairs spokesman Chris Huhne described the sum as 'eye-watering'.
'There is already enough concern at the level of Government snooping,' he said.
