17. UKUSA is Five Eyes. Nothing to do with GB's internal laws.

The Guardian has always known about UKUSA and that if they hurt the US they're hurting the UK - Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. And The Guardian has always known that in Britain the govt has much more leeway in matters of national security and the press than we do in the U.S.

And, while I'm at it, the entire world has always known that UKUSA divides the globe up and spies on the world and that the U.S. has Mexico, Central and South America. So, Brazil's outrage to the contrary, Brazil has been playing everybody for the fool with their act.

Shit, it's detailed in Wikipedia under UKUSA. Guess which piece the UK has and why they might have stopped Miranda coming from Germany, among other valid reasons?
