Without our watchdog doing its job to enforce the law, the law is an
irrelevance. This means that we, too, are an irrelevance. An interesting
thought.

I have been completely underwhelmed with their response to complaints about
non-provision of data in response to an SAR.
I've 3 complaints outstanding with them at the minute, for probably close to
6 months, and they're ludicrously bad at keeping me informed as to what's
happening. When I've talked to them on the phone they accept that the
companies aren't complying, but don't seem to be able (or
willing?) to do anything to make them comply.
