He told BBC Radio Five Live's Weekend News programme that the suggestion was "simply unacceptable", and smacked of the "surveillance state".
Cheeky fucker.

Well... Hang on a minute. Yeah - it's cheeky, because it's exactly the sort of thing he would have done - but think about it. Why is he saying this now? Is it because he's outside of Blair's power; because he's got nothing more to lose? If so - and we know Blair has uber power over his cabinet, a presidential cabinet - then perhaps all this surveillance malarky is all Blair's idea.

But yeah. Cheeky motherfucker.
