Basic data of to whom and when yes I can accept, the actual calls, very hard to comprehend. Texts maybe.
The 652 bodies will be the local authorities, different police forces and the equivalent govt. agencies.
As Lancsdave said I believe this is hyped to stir up the libertarians.
As no calls have been used in court as evidence, apart from ones where a warrant has been issued to put a wire on, to me this ads further evidence that this is a scaremongering story.

When it says details will be kept I'm pretty sure it means date,time, ect. No way could they keep details of content. That would be some storage requirement
