An online database of workers accused of theft and dishonesty, regardless of whether they have been convicted of any crime, which bosses can access when vetting potential employees.

Set up by Surrey-based firm Hicom Business Solutions, the database will allow employers to search for potential workers by name, address, date of birth, national insurance number and previous employer.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with the UK? It's like all of a sudden they've gone all crazy. One camera for every four people, no right to self defense, insane gun happy government enforcers, gleeful deportations of people to their deaths, and now joyous collusion of corporations to oppress workers for the hell of it.
Seriously, :wtf:? Doesn't this seem a bit whacked?
