which ministers say will help improve public services

Sir John Scarlet: We need to watch everyone. Spy on them. Identify dissidents.

Tony: OK, that's not a problem.

Sir John Scarlet: We need funding for a multi-billion pound database development project.

Tony: Ah, so you need a gigantic budget from the public purse.

Sir John Scarlet: Naturally. EDS, I owe one or two favours there, plus something for your friends in Cap Gemini, and Gordon's friends in Accenture.

Tony: I need to sell this to parliament. What's our standard line for everything these days?

Jonathan Powell: Er, schools, the police, and hospitals.

Tony: Right. So we say we need this database to improve public services. That's settled then. More coffee John?

Sir John Scarlet: Please. Hmm, nice sofa.

... relaxing privacy procedures so people do not have to repeat personal information to different public bodies - particularly at times of stress such as a family death.

Where do they come up with this bollox?? Is there a "Ministry of Random Excuses and Bizarre Justifications"

[Troll]

A giant database of people's personal details could be created at Whitehall under government plans which ministers say will help improve public services.
Tony Blair is expected to unveil the proposal in Downing Street on Monday.

Strict regulations currently prevent one part of government sharing personal information it holds with another.

Ministers argue the data-sharing rules are "overzealous" but the Conservatives say relaxing them would be "an excuse for bureaucrats to snoop".

Soon the database will become "self aware"

So-called citizens' panels will gauge public reaction to relaxing privacy procedures so people do not have to repeat personal information to different public bodies - particularly at times of stress such as a family death.

Ahh so that was the real reason for the mooting of the 'Citizens panels' - rubber stamping government bollox - a collective stupidity

Step by step, the government is logging details of every man, woman and child in 'Big Brother' computers
Officials think current rules are an obstacle to improving public services.

Beyond parody - Victory Gin for all!
