Last week I was reading a story about Australian government employees using their national identity database for their own ends, and this week I've just read a story about a Home Office database being open to people who should not have any reason to use it. The government seems devoid of commonsense in all matters to do with personal data and IT. And they wonder why any member of the public or a profession where they are trying to implement another wasted IT system doesn't want it.
