More Government Incompetence

[JohnDotCom]

However can the British Public trust this bunch of Morons running this Asylum with any kind of ID Card?

Shadow Home secretary Domonic Grieve said he was "absolutely horrified" by the loss of 10,000 Prolific Offenders and all 84000 Prisoners by "Government Incompetence"

I refer of course to the latest blunder with the loss of full details of all 84,000 Prisoners serving sentences in England and Wales.
Why would anyone want all that information on one Memory stick with addresses DOB Sentence Crime and most worrying of all according to the Police
Flagged Police Informants. Why oh Why!

All unencrypted and now Prisoners will be able to sue for this loss of their Information according to that Home secretary.
Why when others who's info was lost haven't been able to?

I wouldn't trust this lot with a Train Timetable,
time to leave this depressingly run Country I think.....
Last one out turn off the Light.

Because they all work from home and sit there for part of the day "fiddling the figures"...(Sorry, producing stats to show how good this govt is)

I've got an angry mob on order so we can start a revolution...

I was going to write how the government should quit whilst they were ahead but then, they never really were ahead under this leadership. Therefore they should just give up, go home and let someone else with a modicum of sense and realistic ideals step in... (and no, I do not know who that ought to be but I bet you anything a classroom of average school children would do a much better job at running the country at the moment)

Totally agree with JDC, incompetant bunch of morons, self effacing, self serving, bumbling beaurocrats.

I dispair that the present incumbents of Dowing street even remeber what Socialism and the Labour pary are supposed to be about.

HOWEVER - under the previous administration, we had 15% inflation, mass unemployment, politically motivated attacks on whole industries resulting in the demise of the UK coal mining industry and the reliance on imported fuel, the selling off of key infrastructures - gas, water, electricity, the destruction of motor manufacturing, the reduction in top rate tax from 90+% to 40% (which must have really pleased Tory supporters but did s*d all else for the rest of us. The introduction of Poll Tax/Council tax and so on and on and on......

All political parties and most if not all politicians lack the experience and credibility to manage in a modern economy. Few of them would hack it in the "Real World".

Half baked ideas spew forth from this lot faster than a virgin train on a bank holiday, with no thought for the consequences of each knee jerk law/statement or utterance.

So, what's the answer?

Join my politaical party, I think I'll call it "The Silent Majority" party; put me in charge and some of you guys as my cabinet, and well sort this mess out in 6 weeks, then we'll disolve parliament and b*g off to the sunshine.

Sounds like a plan?

Being a little pedantic and adding some further details......

The USB drive was lost by a person working for PA Consulting who were awarded a contract by the current Administration. Splitting hairs here but it was a private company who have caused this. However, it will be interesting to discover what this person was doing with such sensitive information downloaded onto a portable drive. The cynic in me says we won't actually know the reason, just get fed a load of old conkers, but hey ho. Can't say I'm sympathetic towards PA Consulting however; they've always struck me as a practice that relied on who rather than what they knew and about two years ago they gave me the runaround on a partnering project - so no sympathy from me.

The point that prisoners could potentially sue the Home Office wasn't raised because of some obscure part of the DA, more to twist the knife into Home Secretary Jacqui Smith (not that she needs it, such has been her ability to make a complete hash of her watch so far). If an organisation mishandles personal information then they may be liable to some form of redress. However, I would imagine that without showing how this latest loss could impact them I'm not so sure that a complaint from an inmate would get very far.

Does this mean TREBOR has a clean slate once more?

Quote from The Yellow peril: I despair that the present incumbents of Dowing street even remeber what Socialism and the Labour pary are supposed to be about.

Err, that's the one good thing about this Labour Government . . .

I thought that there were a lot more than 84000 valuable members of the community currently holidaying at our expense. Perhaps the've lost a few of them as well.

Put them all on a disused cruise ship, send it out to mid Atlantic and let the Navy and RAF use it for target practice.

The Information was supplied encrypted but for some stupid reason was stored unencrypted.

The reason Compensation was mentioned is because the addresses and release dates are given
for Informants and Sexual offenders etc.
It has been stated that these cannot be released or be available,
so Under the Human Rights act and the Information and Data laws a claim is fully valid.
