In Government grants itself even more data sharing power
A Ministry of Justice [MiniJust - thanks Gary!] Spokesperson said:
Sharing data is essential ["we want it"] for the delivery [imposition] of efficient [what is this waste you almost speak of?] and effective joined-up public services [how do my bin men need to be joined to my hospital? Or the library to the dole office?] , tackling crime [dissent and other results of years of opressive anti-society policies] and protecting the public ["If you just give us the keys to your home, we can look under the bed for those nast terrorist monsters!"]. The new power will [might?] lead to a more streamlined process for policies requiring data sharing [total surveillance and data mining] whilst at the same time allowing fuller parliamentary scrutiny. [because they will be left with fuck all to scrutinise] Any draft Order would require Parliamentary approval [which we can always blag] and a Privacy Impact Assessment [which we will shred]
Additionally, the Information Commissioner would have been invited to comment [and be ignored and/or buillied] on the proposals. This will ensure that any potential privacy issues and risks are identified and examined [and laughed at]. The power will be exercised only in circumstances where the sharing of the information is in the public ["There might be a terrorist hiding in that hard drive!"] interest ["well, ok, our interest"] and proportionate to the impact on any person adversely affected by it ["when all their data are belong to the 8:33 from Waterloo"].
