according to this BBC article.

Is there a worse way to spend £12bn than this?

Check out this van…

In case you can’t make it out, it says…Government Mail, Trusted to Deliver.

I can think of 25 million folks who might disagree…

Here’s a nice article in The Telegraph.

Well, i’ve finally found time to start blogging again, so will try to stay on top of it this time.

So, just to update on my stolen identity…Barclaycard refunded the money from 3 fraudulent transactions and sent me a new card. I wrote back to them askin if they could provide information on how this fraud was likely to have happened….and I heard nothing back from them (other than the usual marketing junk).

Needless to say, I no longer use Barclaycard, if they can’t be bothered to answer my query, then I can’t be bothered to use there service – it’s not like there is a shortage of credit card providers.

That card was one of my longest supply relationships (22 years I think), a bit weird and symptomatic that this relationship can die without even being noticed by Barclaycard and their CRM systems.

Now that’s what I call scope creep….

So hardly a surprise then.

Well it should get worse now….

That we had more transparency around government data gathering.

A good report, with wish-washy, non-specific recomemndations as ever.
