Without reading your missing post, the answer to your question would probably be yes. All allies spy on each other, even with five eyes cooperation, not really news lol
Edit>> After reading your post now, my answer is the same. The US spies on the UK and vice versa.
Yeah sorry, hit enter by accident.
It is news again because Trump just criticized the UK for spying on him and his campaign. The GCHQ replied:
“The allegations that GCHQ was asked to conduct ‘wire tapping’ against the then President Elect are nonsense. They are utterly ridiculous and should be ignored.”
These allegations should not be ignored.

So is it generally spying (collecting information/intelligence) that you refer to, or wire tapping specifically? They could have done one but not the other, but realistically, as others have said, it's not as though it doesn't happen - do you not think Trump gets intelligence on both enemies and allies?

Check out the Snowden report, the US was spying on private UK citizens. You are naive if you didn't think it cut both ways.
I expect the UK to spy on any foreign nation if it is in our interests, and the US can wail all it wants but nothing will come of this, just the rest of the world chuckling that Trump is whining about something which has always gone on, and he can't stop lol

Haha so what about whatabism? 😂😂😂
Face it you are butt hurt that the UK has the means and will to spy on your nation. I expect our intelligence agencies to do that, it is what they are paid to do.
Trump can bitch about it like a lil girl, but it won't stop it, same as your spies will continue operating in the UK.
You must be really naive about geo politics, personally I think it is hilarious, little Britain manages to spy on the worlds most militarily powerful nation lmfao! What ya gonna do about it???
...bitch and wail lol
