Bob Piper has been a Labour Councillor for the Abbey
Ward in Sandwell, West Midlands, for nine years. He is a lifelong supporter of Aston Villa Football Club and a follower of Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
The views expressed here are mine in a personal capacity, not those of the Labour Party, Sandwell MBC, Aston Villa or Yorkshire County Cricket Club. Get it! Mine... just mine!
You know that sense of false outrage and indignation that was whistling around from the Tories over lost information sent through the post? Well, what goes around comes around, eh?
The Information Commissioner is launching an investigation after the Conservatives accidentally sent details of 8,000 people to a radio station.
The e-mail sent contained the names, addresses, telephone numbers and intentions of voters in the Crewe and Nantwich by-election.
As I recall, when the Child Benefit Data Discs were lost, David Cameron called on Gordon Brown to take personal responsibility for the lost data, and said that the Chancellor and the Prime Minister should consider their positions.

Bob,
Your post states "contained the names, addresses, telephone numbers and intentions of voters in the Crewe and Nantwich by-election."
The poster clearly states that they lost "your financial status".I'd be very surprised if the tories had that information.
I hope Tory incompetence isn't covered by Labour Lies - there's no need for it.
