Does privacy exist anymore? Have you ever been left wondering how someone got your address, phone number or email?

Have you ever thought, how do they know that about me?

Have you ever wondered why you were being asked for your address or phone number, have you ever thought I should not be giving you this information?

Starting here in kent where the county council is today trying to explain why it loses so much senstive, cofidential and personal information about people like you.

They have confessed to 70 cases in the last three years.

Also in the news today the DVLA gives away a million pieces of information about you and your car every year. According to MPs some of that information goes to dodgy characters at parking companies who are pretty close to the edge of legality. Sounds like cowboy clampers does it not. Happy about that? A government agency giving your personal information to these people?

Are we failing to care for people properly in their own homes?

An investigation has found that up to a quarter of a million elderly people in England are subject to 'appalling ill-treatment in their homes'. The report claims that some local authority care-workers are so bad at their jobs it constitutes a breach of human rights for the people they are supposed to be helping.

Do you have a carer? Do you feel you are well looked after? How long do they spend with you?

We hear your views, opinions and stories.
