No it doesnt they pay lipservice to it all the time.

For now, I've got no solutions. But I'm sure there should be some.
I think that the reason that people don't see the solution is because they are looking for conventional solutions which can be implemented via legislation, rather than looking at the underlying issue of equity/fairness in the relationship between society and the state.
This problem is most visibily expressed as Cunliffe's problem with trusts and his proposed CGT.

Hard News: Privacy and the Public Interest, in reply to Alfie,
Does anyone here take LF seriously? Just asking.
My first encounter with LF resulted in a mild head-butting session over calling copied emails "stolen", but we reached agreement about acting in the public interest. I don't always agree with the opinion posted there, but but I find the background on current events worth a read. YMMV
