Then you believe that legislation as it currently stands is a reflection
of a perfect society? Legislation tends to drag behind public opinion,
or to be driven through by career politicians or pressure groups who
don't give a toss about the rights of members of the public.

And that balance has been tipped way against the rights and freedoms of
the individual.

It has developed into a straightjacket around the freedoms of the
individual and become the basis for a superstate.

We all have our own views of what is acceptable and what is intrusive. I
hope that people are horrified at what this census is asking us to answer
and at the fact that the information will be given over to the EU.
