They can get away with this in the U.K. because people are still subjects to the monarchy.

 If the people of the UK actually cared about something so much, the Government would have to change their ways. You know, they still care about winning elections, etc.

 

Oh, and I need to reinstate this. This is not recording the contents of these phone calls, messages, emails. Only information about who sent to who, and at what time. 

So what's the point?

The risk of terror attacks now is less than it was in the 80s and yet people still think that they live under the constant threat of bombings. This wasn't needed to combat the IRA and it's not needed now.
