    Labour brought in anti terror stop and search powers as soon as they could, the IRA had been in cease fire for years and 9/11 was not expected but they felt the need to push through section 44. Arses.

Chances are the main incentive is to make it easier for councils to spot sub-letting, and to charge extra rent or a council tax supplement.
    Top link - cheers

    I signed it but I would not be against if a judge's warrant were required to use such data.

    If you have ever had relatives working for the council you realise what a set of gossips and interfering busybodies they can be.

    My own parents both worked for the local council and were so concerned about their salaries being blasted around the Town Hall gossip circuit that they refused to declare their incomes on my uni grant application form, with the result that I only got the minimum grant.

    I have no issues with the power being there, I have issues with the people that have the powers.

    What!

    How did you?
