Yes, it gives those who wish to abuse power the right to do so with impunity.

Which has no logical connection to the subject.

Anyway fair enough you have your opinion we agree to differ.

If you wish to differ with me, that's fine.
But this is, for me, not just an opinion, nor merely an interesting discussion, this is something I will damn well *fight*. I am entirely willing to stand up and be counted and have already done so.
When the government tried their "stealth consultation" on ID cards I made certain that I spread the word far and wide so people could register their disapproval. When the government tried to ignore or write off the 5000+ responses that were sent via the Privacy International website I wrote to my MP to ensure that they weren't going to get away with this.
This is going to affect *my* rights and yours, and whether you care about them or not, I *do* care and will try my best to do something about it.
