Lost In The Post
From The Guardian:
"The government was forced to admit the most fundamental breach of faith between the state and citizen yesterday when it disclosed that the personal records of 25 million individuals, including their dates of birth, addresses, bank accounts and national insurance numbers had been lost in the post, opening up the threat of mass identity fraud and theft from personal bank accounts."
Let me type four of those words again. Lost. In. The. Post. What a relief. I'm just having a bad dream. Aren't I?
P.S. And still I'm fast asleep.
It beggars belief. Do I change my bank details (along with 23 million people?) Have I been defrauded? No I can't possibly have been. That Nice Mr Darling has got it all under control...
