Lost Discs - We are sorry


The report was revealed today in the House by Alistair Darling.

A mere 25 millions personal records ehh. I find it difficult to blame Government Ministers directly. I should not though. If they had made data protection a priority then we would not be in this situation. But they did not so mandarins obviously did not take it seriously and therefore it was not focussed on by people below. Infact the investigation revealed that it was junior employees who felt there were risks in using this method but were ignored.

Weak Government, poor management, poor leadership and 11 years of manic headline chasing instead. What a waste of a golden opportunity.
