A flagship database intended to protect every child in the country will be used by police to hunt for evidence of crime in a "shocking" extension of its original purpose
I can't imagine why anyone is still shocked by scope creep from an "innocuous" or "helpful" government database. And why am I equally not surprised to see our glorious, Peelian police, protectors of our well-being and general all-round good eggs going forth on the path of policing by SQL. The useless cunts aren't interested in doing any physical work relating to the catching of criminals, from what I can see. I can only imagine that in ten years' time, the hottest crime fighters will be those guys who can really shake their SQL.
ContactPoint will include the names, ages and addresses of all 11 million under-18s in England as well as information on their parents, GPs, schools and support services such as social workers.
And the really cool thing? I suspect that ContactPoint is a dry run for proper policing by database with the ID Card database.
God help us all.

So to all those civil servants and IT workers who have been working so hard to build this socialist utopia, I say this.
ITS YOUR CHILDREN THEY ARE LOOKING AT NOW!!!
You have done your evil work, now they don't need you any more, and will be abusing your children along with the rest of us.
Let me refer you to this - the road to 2010.
Maybe its time for some of you civil servants to grow some balls and start to do some serious whistleblowing on all the other databases that are being built.
Tell us what they really doing with C-Nomis, NIR, TaxCredit database, Treasury Systems, the dozens of Police databases, The DWP Customer Information system, The NHS NPfIT, The Children's Fingerprint Database, The National Number Plate Recognition System, National Fingerprint Database, MI5's Scope project, National DNA Database, and many many more.
Tell us while there is still time to stop it. Tell me, Tell Guido, Tell Spyblog, tell everyone. People have a right to know.
WhistleBlow it all wide open, lets tell the world what they really doing.
But, There IS another way!
The Libertarian Party will ensure that these databases are destroyed, and repeal many of the draconian laws enacted over the past 10 years.
Your Life, Your Country, Your Choice.
