The twenty first winner of the weekly "No shit, Sherlock" award

This week the winner is Sir Ken Macdonald, the current Director of Public Prosecutions although he will retire in 10 days time. He is reported to have said that the state was poised to take powers to keep information on everyone and "we might end up living with something we can't bear."

"We need to take very great care not to fall into a way of life in which freedom's back is broken by the relentless pressure of a security state."
