Congratulations one and all - the EU Commissioner email and associated stories are great.
On a much smaller issue (which is quite a bit less significant!) - re the BT Webwise site hosted in the US where they are capturing UK customer data (illegally according to the data protection act?) - oddly the site now still has got the contact page but it does not work when the submit form button is used. Wonder why...

And also, over on the BT Webwise Beta Forum there was a reply from a BT representative saying that customer data collected on the US server was covered by some US guarantee like the DPA over here... then another forum member has pointed out that Phorm and all associated companies etc are not registered (i.e. not in the same way as firms register for DPA here) - which they should be apparently.
It just gets worse eh?!
(Raises a glass and looks forward to the stock quotes tomorrow)
Well done all.

PS - I posted a letter to our local Chief Constable today. Based on the answer to the Lord Northesk's question about whom is responsible for RIPA investigations. I've quoted Hansard and the Home Office source. I've reported a crime may have been carried out and the fact that I witnessed Emma from BT, on the news on TV, saying they intercepted communications of their customers without permission or warrant. I will keep you posted on any response received.
