The amount of data breaches that there are.
And the number that are undetected are huge
There would be more letters about data breaches in the post than there is junk mail

... Ms Redding seems to be the only person in all of Europe who has any concern for us individuals who unfortunately for us are not a big corporation so cannot get any consideration from our own government for hire.

... if "Europe" is accepting immigrants. I don't want to be part of any one nation, just the whole place.
These folk sound like they actually have their head screwed on.

A new icon? #

I think el Reg should introduce an icon with Viviane Reding on it. I think she is the best thing to come out of the European Commission.

A 25% additional contingency in the budget should do it for nu labour tho. About half of that for sending out notifications of data breaches, the rest for trying to plug the leaks. As that will be a huge enterprise I suggest everyone involved is issued with an 88p bath plug as a visual icon (sort of like a mission statement, but funnier) to remind them why they're all there.

Since uk.gov views citizens as little more than a barrier to its master plans, it falls again to the EC to protect our interests.
