Here at Charters & Caldecott we often amuse ourselves with scurrilous and irreverent (ie schoolboy) humour, hence the soubriquet for Mrs Smith, our ineffable Home Secretary. Mrs Pudding Face.
We thought Mrs Pudding Face's comments yesterday about government databases being safe because they were 'not online' were very revealing. Is that term 'not online' applicable to the 25 million records of electronic data relating to Child Benefit which were lost in the post recently?
Mr David Hughes points this out quite succinctly in The Telegraph (ignore some of the more idiotic bloggers' comments that follow). Truly, she knoweth not a dick from a dongle (as we suspect is the case with most MPs).
The truth is Mrs Smith is just rubber-stamping whatever dross is dumped on her desk and is then being briefed by her department's PR trolls as to what weasel words to repeat to the supine British media.
Additional items:
* Mrs Pudding Face's speech about her brilliant progress on the ID card scheme to Demos, one of those 'think-tank' doodahs so beloved of modern politicians, was apparently received with a less than torrid interest.
* Doctors and teachers first in line for requiring ID cards.
Time for another cup of Darjeeling.
