- Most Heinous Government Organisation: The Office of National Statistics
- David Blunkett Lifetime Menace Award: US VISIT Programme
Home Secretary David Blunkett, the Home Office and the National Identity Card scheme won more votes than anyone else, but were discounted because they have won awards in previous years.
