A serious topic, made fun
The Labour Government keeps on wanting to collect and keep more and more data about us. I've often mentioned how I think it is a waste spending large sums of money keeping tabs on the innocent rather than focusing resources on catching the guilty - but one of the other problems is that the more data that is kept about us, the more scope there is for the data to be lost and misused.
The Open Rights Group have a fun online survey which lets you find out whether any of your own personal data is likely to have been lost. You can try it here.

Stasiland by Anna Funder is very insightful on where this type of thing can go if left unchecked.
