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.
