I have always maintained that this repressive Labour government is incompetent and the news of its latest cock-up, in a long line of cock-ups, just emphasizes the point!
There is the stench of decay coming from this government as it staggers from one crisis to another - Alistair Darling's mishandling of the Northern Rock problem nearly brought the UK banking system down recently and has now landed the British taxpayer with a potential loss of up to £45 Billion!!

The ironic thing about this whole episode is that this comes from a government that wants to issue us with ID cards. It's been telling us for ages how it will carefully safeguard the security of all data it collects from us (

) but would you trust such a promise? I certainly wouldn't! If I shook hands with Darling or the Dour One aka Gordon Brown, I'd count my fingers afterwards, I wouldn't trust either of them, the incompetent buffoons.

And lets not forget the fact that this loss happened around a month ago, only now are we being informed about it, so much for transparent open government - what a joke!
