The UK could become a "hackers paradise" claims a former Devon MP

The UK could become a "hackers paradise" claims a former Devon MP. Richard Younger-Ross believes if the Prime Minister has his way and bans encryption technologies he will put everyone at risk of being hacked. "David Cameron's suggestion that companies should stop using these security measures is technologically illiterate." he says. "Encryption is now essential to our daily lives, every time I buy online or in a shop that transaction is encrypted. Business rely on secure systems to transfer data, to ban encryption would harm UK business and would make it likely that some data businesses would relocate to France or elsewhere."

Making Coalition Work

"I have to say we have been very lucky to have had the Liberal Democrats in government; cutting income tax for the lowest paid, marriage equality, defending the Human Rights Act against those in the Conservatives who would wish to repeal the Act, free school meals for primary school children, trying to reform our tired old political system by having a referendum on the electoral system and attempting to reform the House of Lords and finally arguing to remain as part of the European Union in the face of an increasingly Eurosceptic, right wing Conservative Party."
