Government records go missing

The same Government that want us all to have ID cards, is trying to create a national DNA database and wants to keep every bit of data possible about British citizens has managed to lose the personal records of 25 MILLION PEOPLE.

Yes, 25 million. Names, addresses, National Insurance numbers, dates of birth and bank details. It sounds like it contains details of anyone in the country who receives Child Benefit. The details were sent on 2 CDs/DVDs (?) in regular post and have disappeared. It's only now, a month after they were sent (and didn't arrive) that we are hearing about it.

Whether they have fallen into the hands of organised criminals, who could use these details to apply for loans etc. is not yet known, but then they wouldn't tell us anyway...

National database? ID Cards?

Just say no.
