    Why should we trust the government with our [insert as needed], when they have made such a mess of it?

    Suggestions:

    Data
    Security
    NHS
    Civil Service
    etc…

    I guess they were too busy to notice the data being accidentally compromised, I imagine they were actively leaking sensitive counter-terrorism information at the time.

    John perhaps you can help me? Blair is always telling us “If you’ve nothing to hide, you’ve nothing to fear” so why is he so scared of a leak enquiry into DAC Clarke’s legitimate concerns?

    Regarding the junior doctors personal data; I would think the main (only) leaker that the government is interested in finding is the one who tipped off Channel 4 News about this further example of their incompetence!
    There is too much government in this country meddling in every aspect of life - normally to the detriment of the individual. We want them off our backs and we want you and Cameron to pledge to do just that if we vote for you.
