Hansard: Written Answer: at least 8 RIPA part III section 49 notices since last October

[David Hansen]

On the question of the police not protecting keys, it appears that they 
cannot even protect humans in "safe" houses, so perhaps it is asking 
too much of the poor dears to look after keys.

Another good reason why RIP should be exterminated and people should 
never hand over their keys to anyone they do not authorise to have 
them.

The story below is nothing to do with cryptography, but rather the 
murder of a key witness in a "safe" house, as the URL says

 I will *always* explain revoked encryption keys, unless RIP prevents
