This appalling error actually occurred here in Britain in October, when 2 discs holding the personal information of 25 MILLION child benefit records went missing, but only came to the British Publics attention 4 days ago. These discs contain the name, address, date of birth, National Insurance number and, where relevant, bank details of 25 million people.
And as if matters couldn't get any worse, now 6 more discs, containing information yet to be fully revealed have disappeared.
Gordon Brown, our unelected Prime Minister, has apologised on behalf of a 'junior official' who sent the package containing the disc UNREGISTERED from the Governments HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenus and Customs).
If these discs have fallen into the wrong hands, we all know the potential consequences (fraud, stolen identity etc), but what this really highlights is the absolute incompetence of this 'faux' Prime Minister (which is how I believe the majority of Brits see Gordon Brown).

to watch the David Cameron (leader of the opposition) rip Gordon Brown to pieces in Prime Ministers Question time at the House of Commons.
It's High Drama.
I really don't know how Brown can know possibly go ahead with the implementation of Identity Cards here in the UK....a scheme that the majority of Brits are very much anti. Brown tells us that the ID scheme will only serve to make us safer....where it now seems only obvious that this only gives more extemely personal data that the Government can 'keep safe'.
First poll taken since the missing discs
Obviously I despise Labour, and Gordon Brown, I just wanted to hear what other members (especially in the UK), felt about this act of terrible incompetence, and how it may reflect on the lives of these millions of British families here in 'Big Brother' Britain.
