Ummm... not sure I agree, even though I was one of the thousands who
suffered.
I think I would apply the simple test that I find particularly effective
when dealing with difficult colleagues who are arguing about restrictions
the company's DP manager and I sometimes have to apply to the proposed use
of data. The test consists of one question: "Would you be happy for data
about YOU to be treated in this way?".

I would say the exemption for "journalistic purposes" would have
applied. After all it was partly thanks to this guy's case that whole
sections of the London Underground came to a grinding halt (even more so
than usual) so I think you could certainly argue that the public had a
right to know the details of the case. But in light of Naomi Campbell's
verdict last week, who knows what the law is this week as opposed to
last!!
