    Its the DPA which is useless

    Unfortunately it is the DPA which is usless as opposed to the ICO being constantly toothless. They can only do what powers have ben granted to them and in the case od the DPA it does not accurately reflect what the European Data Protection Directive states.

    Check here for the Infraction Action the EU Commission will be taking agains the UK due to its bad implementation of the DPA. ( http://amberhawk.typepad.com/files/uk-deficiency-details_may-2011.pdf)

    ICO.

    It would be more interesting to read a list of the circumstances in which organisations like BT or TalkTalk might ever face prosecution for abusing personal information.

    I expect that would be a rather shorter document, and save me the hassle of reading so much worthless nonsense.
