How many will it take ?!

How many times do we have to hear of some Government department or agency losing track of our private data, then listen to them bleating and ringing their hands about how this never happens and that it won't happen again .. honest. How often does this have to happen before the public wake up and realise that HMG are the very last people we should be trusting to set up the biggest database of personal data (note: OUR private data) that has ever existed. The National Identity Register, database behind the ID card project, breaks records for the first and the biggest on a number of fronts.

Trust us; we're the government. Yeah right.
