If it was not so serious it would be quite comical that the 
organisation which repeatedly tells us to protect ourselves against 
"identity theft" is busy losing precisely this sort of information.

According to Sky "news" (I was flicking chanels, I don't watch it 
normally, honest) since 2004 the Home Office have lost 121 memory 
sticks with sensitive information on them.

And the Home Office think that I will give up my keys to the sort of 
clowns who have a long record of losing information.
