What a fuckup.

The government have lost a set of discs with the names, addresses and NIS and "where relevant" bank details of 25 million people !

What the fuck? !!!!!!!

So, these numptys, entrusted with keeping these highly confidential records put them in the post. Not even registered post and then they get lost...........and then they say that there is no evidence that this information has fallen into the hands of criminals.
I would add "yet" to the end of that statement.

So they want us to submit all our details to a giant database and issue us with ID cards ( at our expense ) to protect us from terrorists. Hmm, looks like we can't fucking trust them to look after the confidential information they already hold never mind the amount they want encoded on a national ID card.

This latest fuck up has to convince the populace that the ID card scheme and associated database is a non starter, we cannot trust this government to safely look after the information they have been entrusted with.
ID theft is very real indeed and this list is worth a lot especially as it has bank account details included.

What if this information falls into the hands of a paeodophile?
A list of the name and address of all the children in the UK under 16???

This is beyond the pale.

How will they spin their way out of this one?
