(2) Actually far, far more than three data breaches……. (3) To be more accurate, two resigned, one was suspended and one put on extended leave. (4) There may be fewer, but it feels like at least six, from the Savile and Newsnight cases downwards! Poetic license…. (5) It’s not clear precisely how many have been granted – but far fewer than people might think! (6) Actually significantly more, even in connection with Leveson alone. A lot. (7) If the Home Office had had its way, we’d have had far, far more than 10 snoopers snooping with the Snoopers’ Charter (Communications Data Bill). Fortunately, we managed to head them off at the pass, at least for now!
