The right to privacy, or the right to private life, is at the heart
of individual freedom and the right to be free from arbitrary
government interference. The United Kingdom, although part of the
European Union, has privacy issues unlike EU member states of
Germany and France, for example, and yet the UK Press has much more
freedom compared to the ordinary citizen.
This book (published in 2007) follows on from the author's 2004
book titled "Civil Liberties in England and Wales." Privacy is a
contemporary topic of law and some might even say, the hottest
civil liberties topic. The UK government has before Parliament "The
Serious Crimes Bill 2007," one part of which will attempt to
establish a super police database of all UK citizens' information
and another part of which will attempt to make the interrogation of
business files on personnel a legal compulsion. The UK government
also has "The Interception Of Communication (As Evidence) Bill
2007" before parliament. It is therefore fitting that the subject
of privacy is aired.
