This country is being run by Muppets!!

Earlier today we had fishermen having to dump cod into the sea because we are not allowed to land them - stocks have to be preserved!!
Later today, once again our Chancellor is having to "apologise" for an idiot in the Inland Revenue who has lost computer disks with the personal details of 15 million people who get Child Benefit (all of them presumably).
Yesterday we had Mr Darling explaining it was all the press's fault for the problems at Northern Rock (no, it was because they borrowed money they couldn't pay back!). Now we have Paragon in trouble with the same thing.
Now down in the South West, we have the local water authority going into the timeshare business by building lots of timeshare flats by a reservoir in an area of outstanding national beauty.

All this and Gordon Brown fell asleep during the Remembrance Day service!

You couldn't make it up!

i am shocked and disgusted by the news today that theyve lost those records. They have just put every child in this country at risk. How are they going to guarantee our childrens safety?

[Oneeyedvic]

Assume that you are joking Lou - how exactly have they put children in danger?

[Reverandfunk]

Ludwig there is that plus im not on the electoral register

[lou 26]

no im not joking oneeyedvic! Anyone could have their hands on these records, lets face it there are some real sickos in this world and they could have the name and address of every child in this country! Worst case scenario I know but still a risk! Lets just hope they havent gotten into the wrong hands!
