did a government employee finally understand something genuinely important about people's data?

Indeed he did. But he didn't say who would pocket the extracted value. Do you think it will be:

1) You and me?

2) Some shitty offshore outsourcer being paid to do not much?

3) Some big data company that gets our data, and makes a mint for its Yank shareholders whilst paying no UK corporation tax?

My bet is on 3.
