Great comments.You've said it all. I'm glad that other people find this disturbing too. And I never even thought about defining what constitutes a celeb. Wow. Everyone who objects to being in the endless national databases should sign up for every I-want-my-five-minutes show in existence and then claim to be exempt through their celebrity status. How hard can it be to get on the Jeremy Kyle show? XanderG, Toby

How does having a bloated, unsafe, expensive (I base those assumptions on previous government IT projects) database, going to do anything to help those children or their parents? The same with ID cards. They're not going to stop criminals or terrorists, they will cost billions, and they will effectively make it a breeze for identity thieves. Recently we've had that Trojan in America which was able to steal peoples' information from US government offices. And the Americans are actually better at IT then we are. And yet no-one seems to question the politicians! And as I may have said before, they are typically the least trusted of people! Is this whole country mad? And this "….. information about the children of celebrities and politicians is likely to be excluded from the system."! The slimy bastards. One rule for us, another for them eh? Of course everyones equal in this country, it's just some are more equal than others. Why does nobody care about this? And this will help us how?
