      Nah, we can trust a bunch of self appointed money grabbing ex plod with our data, with oversight on secuirty matters such as olmypics, country wide ANPR etc.

      And you thought the politicans ran the country?

      yeah right :-)

    This would be the same Met that had officers on the NoTW payroll for information would it?
