Ministers are proposing rental companies share drivers' data with the Government so it could be checked against a terror watch list before a vehicle is released for hire.

Toby Poston, director of external relations at the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA), told the Sunday Telegraph: "The industry is looking at ways to share data with the authorities in as real time as possible so it can be cross-referenced with counter-terrorism watch lists."

Of course one should never think of the government as stupid. Their true motives are elsewhere on this I think.

Still nothing concrete from the Prime Minister after her enough is enough speech, unless the censoring of the report in to the Saudis can be counted as doing something. Oh I have no intention to make this party specific, I have no doubt the other side would try the same.

She still hasn't addressed the whole issue of why we were facilitating Brits to go and fight for Libyan jihadis in 2011. She was Home Secretary back then she must have signed off on the plan.

And absolutely nothing about foreign funding of U.K. mosques and religious schools.

All we hear from the PM post terror incidents is "internet companies have to do more", she's obsessed with the bloody internet.
