Gordon Brown’s Useless Government Endangers People - Again

Yet again, as if this is now the primary purpose of government, the data of millions of people have been lost.
This time, the transport secretary, Ruth Kelly, has had to admit that over 3 million learner driver details have been lost in America.
The loss has happened from a so-called “secure” facility in America, where a commercial operator sees if it can make some money from people taking the driving test. If you are old enough, you might remember the days when it was possible to take a driving test without having all your details sold to all and sundry in the hope that they might be able to make a quick buck out of you.
If you think your own data may be amongst those lost with the other 3 million plus people and you imagine the government will contact you to give you advice, forget it. They say that because they don’t think there was any finanacial data loss, they cannot be bothered.
The government also said that the only way to provide a good service to learner drivers was to share data on them with commercial operators, which is, of course, complete and utter nonsense at best and a barefaced lie in all probability.
The government, however, is no doubt still hell bent on the idea that all your medical records will be made available for loss or theft or criminal or blackmail or terorist purposes and that ID cards will still be forced on everyone against their will, to make sure that all data on everyone can be lost from one central location and used by any terrorist operation on earth.
Expect the next shamefaced announcement from Gordon Brown’s “government” (ha!) to be that they have lost absolutely everything on absolutely everyone, but don’t panic. There is no reason to assume that there is any criminal or terrorist involvement at all.
Stop Press: News just in says that the government has now actually lost Gordon Brown.
