Darling is to make an announcement at 3.30 - bit of a problem?
Incompetent is an understatement. What kind of an outfit is HMRC? Clearly they are a bunch of hapless, shambling buffoons.
When EDS took over the Inland Revenue, they laid off all the managers on day one. They then transferred all the expensive staff to different offices to get them to resign. Within 3 months almost all of the experienced staff that were TUPE'd over had gone. TUPE rules? Load of old cobblers.
Just say "EDS" to a career civil servant and stand well back.
The purpose of the exercise of at least 15 years has been to "now we've crushed the unions, reduce the Civil Service head count". New Labour are just the Tories in red.
Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
Doesn’t make sense. If Revenue and Customs claims it doesn't believe the records have fallen into the wrong hands, what other ways are there of interpreting ‘losing' 15 million records? EDS system with no backup?
The MoD does it by leaving laptops on the back seat of cars. I should think HMRC do it by leaving a USB stick on the bus.

Details of 15m bank accounts lost - but only if you claimed child tax credit.
The good news for fraudsters is that they're exactly the demographic of people banks are scrambling to lend money to.........you know the completely credit safe ones.
Say they've not got confused and just lost Northern Rocks customer file have they?
But Home Office minister Liam Byrne said: "I think that the department does a difficult job and I think it does it well - the chancellor will set out a full statement and a full account to the background of this story a little later on."
Reminds me of that politician character on Little Britain who has an 'unfortunate' habit of finding himself in compromising situations. He dismisses the whole thing at a press conference.
