staring at clouds

so basically it's a shopping list for a car thief so they can steal to order and plan their thefts in comfort instead of having to wander around in the cold night air

and of course now the data is (possibly) in the public domain then the DVLA can't sell it to third parties for as much as they would want

let me see HMRC data, pensions data, a fantastic number of laptops with sensitive data on ... oh you get the idea.

HMG + our personal private data = bad idea

our data may as well be worn on a placard round our neck once HMG has it .. except we wouldn't be able to wear it within a kilometre of the houses of parliament

and HMG is still storming ahead with the ID card project and not listening to any objections because this project will be different, to all the preceding HMG instigated major IT projects presumably, and will be managed better with the data kept secure .. see note re hmrc, pensions et al

pass me the tissues I feel the need to weep
