Another reason to trust government

OK I know it, I know it, I have an innate distrust of officialdom and am enraged by every new scheme they come up with, granted, yes, but this time, this time I believe official stupidity has reached a new low. The British Ministry of Defence – ha ha, well named – has lost a computer drive containing the personal information of 100,00 people serving in its armed forces! Their home addresses, passport numbers, bank account details, the works. The Blather organization is currently working hard to get its hands on this computer drive through our front company in Cairo, and if successful I will personally sell it to Al Qaeda in broad daylight in Trafalgar Square, just to prove how idiotic these imbeciles really are!!!
Would you trust these fuckpiles with your information in an ID card scheme? Delete all databases now!
