[privacy] UK: Whitehall Moves to Create 'Super-Database'

[Larry Seltzer]

>>The UK Gov seems to be fascinated with the idea of huge databases on
computers, much the same way a rabbit is fascinated by a stoat.  

I'm sure I'm not the only non-Brit asking myself "WTF is a stoat?"

c/o Dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/stoat): "the
ermine, Mustela erminea, esp. when in brown summer pelage."
