Some interesting Oral Evidence given by, among others, Professor Ross Anderson, who appears to be some sort of sinister conspirator in the view of the Government: see for example We should be skeptical of campaigns and How sinister!.
How dare he and his ilk seek to influence Government and Opposition thinking by giving evidence to committees, advising Conservative MPs, and joining campaigning groups!

Ta for the prompting on those – I had them noted but hadn’t yet got around to checking! Equally ta for the pointer to the Lords IT debate :)
On the basis that those without a convincing argument resort to personal abuse, the ad hominem attacks on Ross (and less directly on all of us with concerns about data confidentiality and security) are par for the course. It is absolutely astonishing, though, that government MPs and Peers attempting to convince the public of their commitment to confidentiality cannot see the irony in quoting from private emails between friends and colleagues that have somehow fallen into their hands.
Ross Anderson is starting to look like a good candidate for a people’s peerage.
@DW: my pleasure. I might touch on some of the oral evidence at some point, for example the mention of the US state laws that oblige companies to inform their customers of suspected privacy breaches.
@archrights: I think I’m more disgusted by insinuations than straightforward insults. And yes, the irony is quite something, isn’t it?
@William: it really annoys me that people who give up so much of their time, such as you and Professor Anderson, are subjected to such rudeness.
Wibbi rude politicians picked up their toys and expressed themselves in a more adult and reasonable fashion, instead of contributing to disengagement.
