The banks,shops and hotels etc have been found to be dumping our personal information in binbags instead of disposing of them securely. With all the ID theft going on and the banks and credit card companies putting the onus on US to be more security minded I find there actions deeply disturbing and negligent. Your views please? UK report here

With data sharing now encouraged by the government - expect more identity theft. Hence the rush for identify cards. It has some merit - now most Post offices have closed you can at least tax your car on the Internet. But why have car tax at all - just put it on petrol - the polluters pay. the old excuse that they have to check our MOT and insurance doesn't hold water - they data share that information now. Sack all those parasitic pen pushes at the DVLA! Put car tax on petrol and diesel. Introduce a ID card that is self financing - that will double as a MasterCard, visa card, medical card etc. Get the banks to pay for them - they make record profits!

I have a system that seams to work well.
I have no shop cards, and refuse to give them any data about myself.
I use inaccurate data when signing in on the net.
And I am excessively abusive to these irritating phone calls that always happen when you re eating tea.
What these companies are doing is inexcusable, if we all made them work damn hard for any data we give them it would make them treat it with a little more respect.

We live in a time that is equivalent to the lawless days of the American West. There is no Marshal around to clean things up
