Resolved How secure is a VPN?

There is growing awarness amongst the U.K's media of our government's plans to grant itself the right to snoop on virtually any and all internet activity.

From a personal point of view I have nothing to get excited about, but I am neverthless curious about the protection which the use of a VPN might provide, if any.

Lots of our answers are found by wading through pages and pages of Google searches also. Not dissing on you, but sometimes things do take a lot of research.
