Veiled Threat to Your Privacy
23 01 2009Ladies and gentlemen, pull out your best emailing finger and prepare to write to your MP.
The excelent site NO2ID brings us news that the new Coroners and Justice Bill being forced through Parliament as I type contains a massive hidden threat to our privacy. NO2ID reccomend writing to your MP about this, I’ve already sent my letter, pull your finger out and send yours as well. It only takes a couple of minutes.
The fact of the matter is that the new bill allows a ministerial order to be sent through which bypasses any Parliamentary act and allows use of data collected for one puprose to be used for another, disregarding the provisions of the Data Protection act. This is a huge violation of your privacy and paves the way to making the National Identity Card scheme even more malignant than it already is.

Like a sniper in a ghillie suit, you don’t see him till it’s too late. By then, you’ve got no face…
