This is our best hope, really, that loads of financial, personal and health details of Those In Charge get leaked, hacked, lost, stolen and used against them in the most underhand and criminal manner possible. That'll teach them!
Whenever something like this happens comments about sauce and geese come to mind.
If all MPs and Lords, Local Councillers, senior quangocrats, Civil Servants and their families were made, by law, to be the first entrants on all these new, intrusive government databases with only the standard security to protect them (ie nothing special for their data) I think:
a) there would be fewer of these Stasi-esque creations b) they'd all be a helluvalot more secure c) far fewer laptops would get left on trains or in taxis
John R: c) far fewer laptops would get left on trains or in taxis
Perhaps all public sector laptops should be issued with 'wallpaper' that gives the name, home address and financial details of the individual's line manager.

"All hard copies and electronic copies of the year book have since been destroyed and security measures tightened up."

I used to do both at the same time, but it got me odd looks in the office...
"That'll teach them!"
There was a certain amount of schadenfreude as I was posting this, it's true...
"Surely, if you've nothing to hide...
