The linked story is about more lost disks. The government admitted during the week that they had not acted to stop data losses. There needs to be a ministerial signature for any more disk transfers. Then we know who gets sacked if disks get lost.
The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it).
It has got into the Argyll News
Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week.
The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.

How many children's details will be lost as the Gov don't seem competent in any area.
What really upsets me, is that even after they've lost unencrypted bank account details for half the country.
They send out 8 million letters to say sorry.
What wrong with that?
The "sorry" letters contained bank account details, names, address and the names of their children.
Another 8 million letters that can be used for Identity Fraud.
