Wilmslow haze?
The Times has put online of their interview with the Information Commissioner Richard Thomas, which led to about banks dumping confidential account details in street rubbish - although this is actually a story which .
The Times journalists clearly found Commissioner Thomas , thinking his remarks are sometimes 'more than a little hazy'. The merit of them placing the whole transcript online is that you can judge for yourself whether or not this is fair comment.
The transcript shows that Thomas says he needs to analyse the reasoning behind the government's costing proposals in more detail before expressing an opinion, and that he will come out with a considered view in a fortnight or so. How hazy or clear that view turns out to be will be interesting to see.

I have had a lot to do with the so called 2information commisioner " and my view is that the whole subject is a smokescreen for whoever wants the info. I asked on several occasions who is the actual owner of this data and got no coherrent answer. Well it is the data subject who is and when you try to pursue a line of correction it does not work.What I have found is that whenever you serve the section 7 or section 10 notices which are supposed to protect you, nothing happens. This is because the so called controllers do not know the law either.This officer of the government is so overrun with work that it takes months before they will act.So where do we , the data subjects , stand?. Out in the cold without a raincoat, which is all this present format allows.
It is surprising how few feel capable of comment on this subject when it is critical to our lifestyle. It is either because of education or pure arrogance that there is no time to deal with this discussion.The lack of comment proves the facts that every person who has a duty to report an anomily with their data ultimately just cant see through the haze. The parts of the act that matter are sections 7,10,13,14,42 all of which can be used to correct,stop or ultimately seek compensation for a wrong doing.
