Cos the fekking government cant!



I despair! 25 MILLION people have had their details backed up and then promptly lost by the Government.

Youll all be glad to know it was TNT who lost 'em, not Royal Mail.

I hope the office junior has been reprimanded suitably.

... " but don't worry, information on your ID cards will be safe with us"... NOT.

Common you silly scaremongers it's only the data on almost half the people in the country that's gone missing and only families with kids aged up to 16, so not everybody will be at risk.
What a load of tossers, what can they organise.

25 mill is several mill more than the current claimants, so my guess is that should read kids aged up to about 20.

Watchdog reported last night that a disc with 15k peoples NI numbers and full addresses and details had been lost too by the govt... ermmm I didnt look at the link, hope this is relevant

Theyve been doing it for ages

ocht I canna be bothered with links anymore than I can this country and govt now... pass the bottle please

Seriously, that blog is worth a read. ligs.

Dont consider it a link so much as a button to the truth...

Yeah.. pass me some of that bottle too

Don't worry Ligloo........tis England , not "your country".

I'll be asking my MP to accost this Mr Dahling. What a gay boy.

Can't get my head round this role reversal.

Wasn't there a time when Governments kept information secret, we demanded information and those rebels that liberated information were the heroes?

Now the Governments (and their agencies) leak and 'loose' information into the public domain with gay abandon and we plead with them to keep it from prying eyes.

Trouble is, the info that they've opened up in this way is all our personal and private details rather than the stuff we want to know in a spirit of open government!

Its always easy to blame the supplier and the govt does so endlessly - the mail suffer continually from this. I wonder if TNT accept that it was them and not simply some office junior losing the discs. My guess is that they dont.

Well remember once having a serious problem with loss of paperwork in the incoming mail. All sorts of investigations ensued including the post office. until one staff member was off sick and we found the missing docs in his desk drawer. Got behind with his work, problem snowballed to the point where he couldnt admit it .

No - its only the destination that has changed. It used to be bent Cambridge graduates sending the info to Moscow, now its YTS trainees (or whatever has succeeded them) making info available to scammers . We can guess what country they are in.

Old news I know, but the real story came out a few days ago.
The discs with 25 mill kids addresses on were actually on their way to Lapland when they went missing.
No pressies from Santa this year then !

thought you said it wasnt my country.... ??? fibber!

why have I just had a letter from HM Revenue and Customs apologising because all mine and my daughters details are on the 'lost' data list????

or actually...

I am writing to make a personal apology. A copy of some HM Revenue and Customs data about families, including yours, who have received Child Benefit has been lost.

I don't see much personal about that apology... it's not even signed
