Tory bunglers send out personal information   » Permalink  |  TrackBack (0)

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?

Inquiry into Tory e-mail blunder

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.

Are you considering your position, Dave?

PS - Of course, I wouldn't expect Labour to exploit this unfortunate error.

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.

Not unless the Press Association are lying too, Andy.

I like the 'secretive offshore location'. Makes it sound very Blofeldian. Shame it was a radio station rather than an underground lair really.
