The absolute ultimate WTF

You have personal data, including bank account details, on 25 million people which you need to transfer to another site. What do you do?

If you work at HM Revenue and Customs, you burn it onto some CDs and put it in the post. And when it doesn’t turn up, you repeat the exercise.

I keep alternating between hysterical cackling and total speechlessness.

And, as a number of bloggers I’ve surfed by have pointed out, this is the government that wants us to trust their ID cards scheme?
