I think the time for laughter is long past.

Just what the hell is a recruitment officer doing wandering round with 
"passport details, National Insurance numbers, drivers´ licence 
details, family details, doctors´ addresses and National Health Service 
numbers" plus "bank details"?

These cretins are some of the people the Home Office and the fools in 
Westminster thought were fit and proper people to steal my keys.
