Reply:I expect there are 25million families now asking the same question.





No, I do not trust the UK.gov to do anything properly and the reason I do not trust them is simply because they make such a hash of everything.





One of the most important aspects of government, is to keep the Civil Service on side. This present UK.gov had dumped thousands of Civil Servants, left whole departments with untrained staff and so it goes.





My advice to any UK.gov is to look after your Civil Servants.





Do you really think that the Civil Service lost all those records of some 25million people by mistake? I do not. I think this was an act of sabotage carried by by disgruntled Civil Servants acting in their own best interests and that of the people.





I would not worry about the lost information - it's probably been burnt in the incinerater by now anyway.





Look as hard as you like, the lost disc or discs will not be found. Not ever.

Reply:No, this latest indiscretion has just highlighted just how inept they are at keeping our detail's secure !!
Reply:they got my number already. they had it for 39years,


1 error wont change the trust.





ID cards are a good way forward, eliminating crap, only people with things to hide would oppose them.
Reply:I would not trust this government to care for their own grandmother let alone anything belonging to other people. They seem incapable of even knowing if they woke up in the morning.
Reply:I don't trust the government with anything.
Reply:not after they lost all our child benefit details.
Reply:I have never trusted them with this sort of data. They are utterly incompetent and their computer systems have not got a good track record. God help us if id cards come into force.
Reply:NO...but the cards are a good idea i think...they should include a dna sample for the database too
Reply:No and not with the latest, NHS records (Spine) on disk.
Reply:not after the fiasco with the loss of two C.D full of our personnel information with the names and addresses of our children, bank account details. Who would feel they could trust them any more, and should Alistair Darling resign, yes without a doubt
Reply:NO. Emphatically NO (excuse capitals, they denote extreme feelings).


If some incompetent can hand 2 discs to a courier to deliver, and those disks contain so much sensitive information, I despair what could be at stake if the whole population was minutely documented. What guarantees (believable and fool-proof) would we have?


It beggars belief.
Reply:NO WAY""""""""/
Reply:The national identity card that we had during the second world war, created no problem with anyone as it was a security issue.


,But the proposed card is a different item, able to keep on record all kinds of data of the individual, . Though I think the idea of a card is basically a sound one.


I would now have to be really convinced before agreeing to this proposal.
Reply:I don`t trust this govt on any issue.
Reply:It`s as simple as this...if you`re not doing anything illegal,...you have nothing to fear from I D Cards!!!
Reply:no
Reply:Of couse the Uk govt will lose, or some of their millions of unvetted employees will sell, ID information. So, No.


If I walk down the street, minding my own honest business, why should I be stopped, and threatened with a fine or jail if I don't tell a policeman my name, address, marital history, bank balance, any driving offences, etc? I do not understand the need for ID cards in a normal, peaceful country.


South Africa had Pass Laws during Apartheid and I don't want that here in UK.
Reply:Dunno anymore , since they lost the child benefit records so easily.
Reply:No, I don't - not remotely!


And I'm well aware that they're tracking this conversation!
