Labour passed several bills like this. The Regulation of Investigatory Powers act, 2000 and the Digital Economy Act 2010 are Labour bills and both are disgustingly authoritarian.
Furthermore, GCHQ's dragnet internet surveillance system Tempora was designed, tested and implemented under a Labour government.

The bomber crews in particular suffered an absolutely ferocious rate of losses. The UK's RAF Bomber Command had a 44% fatality rate through the war while a full 50% of the USAAF's casualties were in the Eighth Bomber Command alone.
It's a good job those men were bomber crew, no other aircraft would have been able to carry the sheer size and weight of their balls in the first place.
