Kablenet reports here on recent proceedings of the Public Accounts Committee. It seems that, in giving her evidence, Alexis Cleveland, director general for Transformational Government, (there's some good commentary on this ogre-ish invention of the Bliar/Great Bottler axis here(from Blairwatch) and here and here (from Ideal Government)) concedes that sharing of information/data within Government increases the risk of the security of that data being compromised. I should co-co!!!
What rankles with me is that, despite a bunch of people telling these closeted dip-sticks for the past ten years or so that this is as sure as eggs is eggs, it is only now, after the HMRC cock-up, that they are even beginning to accept this stark reality. More closing the stable door after the horse has bolted! More "you really couldn't make it up"! Honestly, I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the lunacy of it all.
