15 million...

...banks details lost but the government. Read that figure again. 15,000,000.

But it is all ok after all, as the government does not believe "the records - names, addresses, date of birth and bank accounts - have fallen into the wrong hands." Which makes everything ok, doesn't it? Unless, of course, the government - who lost the fucking records in the fucking first place - is wrong about this, like it is wrong about so many other things.

And, lest we forget, people, this is the same government who feel they can successfully implement an ID card scheme.

The shower of cunts who rule this country simultaneously sicken me and scare me. There seems to be no end to their jaw-dropping incompetence - and that incompetence has the potential to affect everyone in this country.

Sweet Jesus Christ, we are all fucked if this mob of cretins is not swiftly booted out of office.

UPDATE

Via Mr E, I see the figure is actually 25 million. 25 million people have had their details lost. By the fucking government. Apparently Darling is staying on to help solve the crisis. I think the best way he could help is by going and jumping in the fucking river. Preferably taking every incompetent, fuckwitted member of this Nu Labour government with him.

UPDATE #2

The radio is reporting that Darling has ordered an enquiry into the farce. I'll save him the time (and the tax-payer's money) by offering a way to prevent a repeat of this fiasco. Don't let a junior official download confidential information and then stick it in the fucking post.
