Data sharing
 
It is worth a look. Boy does this apply to motorcyles and 4WD's! Joining the dots on 'data sharing' » NO2ID One of the things Brits don't seem to realize is that once the files are opened on people it will be their responsibility to keep their file up to date. Large fines for failing to do so. Large increases in council tax to bring council records in line and administer it. DO NOT think that British incompetence will stop it---please! Linzi.

Excellent gag! I'm not sure I should be laughing though!

Method
 
I forgot to mention that this data sharing bombshell is hidden in an apparently totally innocent bit of legislation. It's being sneeked through like a submarine running silent. It is a line only, in The Coroner's Bill. I wish dearly that I had it in me to write a sequel to 1984 but alas I'm not in Orwell's league. We all need to write to our MP's that we oppose this most fervently---or don't really care as the case may be. Linzi.

I care and will write to my MP.

The trouble is, my MP is the worst sort of communist ****wit imaginable. This area turned red in 1918 and since they still let single digit IQ morons vote based on the colour of the candidates rosette, it always will be. (the second place in any election here goes to the BNP, so hardly a choice). The result is an MP who can do nothing but file his expenses so long as he follows the party line. It would actually be more efficient if they gave Gordon Brown two votes in parliment and let Challen stay in bed. He's due to retire, but won't step out of line as he'll be after a seat in the Lords and/or chairmanship of some quango.

Now, I wrote to this cretin when they abolished duty free and again when they changed the bike tests. His response on both occasions was a four line letter saying it was party policy to do this, so hard chips. That's it, an open admission that he's nothing more than someone paid to stand where Brown tells him to.

Now, would you bother, or save the stamp and hope someone shoots the ******* come the revolution?

I note after a few small sucesses the Downing street petitions get the same response. Any of those we should be signing up for?

Test Area
 
Hi Andy, I was told Brighton and Hove city, as it calls itself now, is one of about four test areas. We've got less time than other areas. Seem's the local MP's aren't much use either. I believe in civil disobedience. Wonder how many prison places are free? Linzi.
