I would like to bring look at this from a different point of view.

Why is Rod Stradling building up files on people? Clearly he built up a file on Peter Kennedy - because he says so. Who else does he have files on? Are these kept with the Data Protection Act in mind?

I have often heard of the folk police but never realised they had manifested in Stroud. Since Rod is asking for evidence of wrong doing - what are the criteria we can use to send material?

And since people are sending him material would he ask their permission to publish their names? Personally as I go around the folk world I need to know who is reporting back to whom.
