But if you're self-employed, e.g. as a lawyer, your communications are commercial/legal, not personal.

Or will personal end up meaning "sent to or from a person" ?

For some reason our current crop of politicians seem determined to construct a fully equipped ready-to-go totalitarian state, just waiting for the wrong people to move in at the top, no assembly required.

I'm (almost) sure the politicians don't see the risks because they know themselves to be thoroughly decent chaps, but it does seem to show a breathtaking arrogance to ignore the very history they insist our children should be learning.
