Mr Blair is fond of telling us that the UK has to become the world leader in on-line businessm, but the RIP bill means that the government/police/any big business that fancies a bit of a shufty, can have read any e-mail passing out of the country, or any other e-mail they feel like if it's hustified by 'the safety or economic wellbeing of the country'
Even if you decide to encrypt it, they can just request the key. "Forgotten" it? That's 5 years in jail. Tell anyone they're asking for it? Another 10 years.
I think it's pretty clear who has the worst privacy.
Of course - The USA has been reading them all for years using echelon
