Colleagues
According to the BBC today:
A giant database of people's personal details could be created at
Whitehall under government plans which ministers say will help improve
public services.

Somebody on this forum once quoted Lord Browne Wilkinson in the case of
Marcel v Metropolitan Police Commissioner:
""...If the information obtained by the police, the Inland Revenue, the
social security offices, the health service and other agencies were to
be gathered together in one file, the freedom of the individual would be
gravely at risk.
The dossier of private information is the badge of the totalitarian
state."
As my kids would say on a long journey.
"Are we there yet?"
