You have the legal right to get back any personal data they have on you. If you suspect you are on their list, for example you were at Newbury or are a member of CAAT, they HAVE to comply. I wouldn't do this just to fish coz your name will prolly just end up being added to their odious little files.

Mark Thomas has some info on this, im sure there's better out there tho:  http://www.mtcp.co.uk/campaigns.php?id=5
