Current Events - November 2007

If you listented to todays new that the HM Revenue and Customs posted the peoples details via unrecored & unsecure methods.

Why on earth would these stupid people who are suposed to keep out data secure go and post it without taking proper security methods?.

Surly they would encrypt these details with the highest possible encryption like lets say the new version of pgp encryption.
Even then they should not have sent it in in unsecured mail.

I would not even send any of my stuff that i trade online out unless it was special delivery and thats you run of the mill stuff these where bank details names addresses national insurance numbers.

Does anyone know if they atleast encrypt the data they send?.
If not then why should we trust them?.

No matter how much i like computers they should not be relied on with our details. What would happen if something was to happen to every computer system in the world? The system replies on computers too much for thier own good.

I was just watching the news and on Long Island some guy with the license plate "GETOSAMA" (as in Get Osama) is being required by DMV to surrender his license plates because they are "offensive".

I think it's ridiculous... After all this country has been through, some people have BALLS!!!

Why on EARTH would anyone get offended by a license plate (IN NEW YORK MIND YOU, WHERE THE TWIN TOWERS FELL!!!!) that supports the troops and the capturing of a murderer?

Please answer. I'd like to get as many opinions as I can on this topic.

THANKS!

A woman has been jailed for two weeks after failing to make her 14-year-old daughter attend school.
Dawn Joyce, 40, was jailed after magistrates in Wolverhampton heard her daughter had missed 90 days of school between January and June this year.
The court heard that the girl had offered a variety of excuses, including not liking her hair or Mondays.
Joyce, of Alderford Close, Pendeford, said she had done everything she could to get her daughter to go to school.

who should be punished, parent or child in these circumstances

Btw if you're 'bored' of Maddie please don't read this question & certainly don't answer.
-
Baby Grace was found in a box in the sea by fishermen.
These are similarities between Baby Grace & Maddie McCann.
- Baby Grace was wearing white trainers with purple flowers on them and a stripe around the bottom. A photo has seen Maddie McCann wear the same type of shoes.
- The box Baby Grace was found in could only be sold in WalMart stores. Gerry McCann had plenty of opportunity to visit WalMart while on his trip to the USA for the 'find Madeleine' campaign.
- Baby Grace was wearing clothes by Cherokee. People could buy these clothes in WalMart or Target. The clothes could also have been bought from Tesco in the UK.
More information can be found here.

What do you think should happen? I'm thinking a restraining order. I'm not sure if they knew what they were doing, either.

Apparently Alastair Darling knew about this child benefit fiasco TEN DAYS ago! That's an awful long time don't you think when you're faced with possible fraud on a massive scale. Should the public have been alerted sooner? Or do you think he was protecting himself against another run on the banks? I for one am now going to be moving my money into my own personal account that wouldn't have been detailed on these discs.

Either way, do you agree that ten days was a long time to wait to bring this out into the open?

I am especially talking to those who are on the fence or just waiting to see what happens. I will welcome coments from anti-McCanns also.

Please concider these points:

An area which is a haven for paedophiles.

A report of someone seeing a man lurking in the bushes just before Maddie was taken.

Jane Tanner probably did see Maddie being taken, although didn't realise it at the time.

A bag found at the roadside a few miles away with clothes with a moderate DNA link to Maddie.

Reports of people convinced they have seen Maddie, identifying her photo.

Metodo 3 also convinced she was abducted.

Metodo 3 believe they are closing in on her.

After all that has happened, after all the Madeleine questions on here, and a lot about her parents, aren't some of you now really suspicious that SHE HAS INDEED BEEN ABDUCTED?

Please really consider these with proper sensible thought.

Oh well , perhaps Mr Tony Bennetts vile racist past was a damn sight worse than the McCanns error of judgement on May 3rd.

Never mind Tony, Veritas love you, ya bigot.
