I note with interest that our servants, the Government, have shambolically lost private data relating to around 25 million people. These same people seem to think we buy their statement that the same would not be true of the data held for their ID card systems. Why should we believe that this bunch of incompetents would be able to hold anything private. It is for this very reason that I refuse to provide HMRC with my bank account details 'so that they can process refunds more expeditiously'. I assume they mean they would contrive to lose this detail as rapidly as possible so that the criminal elements around could make proper use of it.
What amuses me greatly is that the Chump of the Exchequer stands there and says, the data is lost but it is not likely to be in criminal hands. I only have one question for him: If this data is lost, then how can Mr Darling be certain where it isn't?
We all know the answer to that, so there is no prize for telling me he can't. Still it is one way to solve the debt problems of the Third World isn't it?
