but if say, using your previous scenario and jimmy saville had admitted something that was illegal what would be legal position of that admission of guilt, if it was recorded illegally?

I think you are being very naive and haven’t really thought this through. So you wouldn’t mind if all your conversations were being recorded. Well that’s your choice I guess. Personally I don’t want to be listened to when I am having a private conversation.
Regarding CCTV’s, would you be happy if every home had them fitted and you were monitored all the time on the off chance of catching you doing something illegal?
If you want to know what a decent local newspaper is, go into the archives at the museum in the town centre and ask to see one of the old Wrexham Advertisers or a Wrexham Leader from as late as the 1980s. The local press then actually wrote their content, now they just copy and paste press releases. I am not even sure the word ‘scoop’ is in their dictionary any more. Perhaps the Welsh Government could spend a similar amount that it spends on papur bro on encouraging new forms of proactive english language local media across wales, though hopefully the results won’t be as boring as the papur bro. zzzzzz… chapel….zzzz prize giving…. zzzz…amateur sports comps….memories of how sh8tty life was when my family of 15 lived in a ty bach with no roof or door….
