THE LAST DITCH
NHS loses CD of 1.6 MILLION patients' records • The Register.
The state is not your friend and, if it were, it would be the stupidest one you have. I love the expression "…the trust was handed an undertaking…", don't you? It's an unusual construction meaning – I think – that the offender was required to promise not to do it again.
Harsh, eh?
Imagine the reaction if it had been a private hospital that lost the data.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.
Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.
He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that
“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
