Anyone? Snowden? Snowden?
We don't need to pony up our social media history; the NSA has already burgled it, analysed it and filed it.
If Trump wants to do something useful, he should privatise the NSA which could then bill us for provision of monthly summaries

It is interesting that Jeremy Corbyn has been an MP for 42 years and led the opposition for 5 years.
He's been on Question Time once.
Nigel Farage, 44 times.
Our Media is corrupt, corrupt to the core.
