Yes, losing a couple of discs is far more of a cock up than what's happening in Iraq.

scoff all you like but as a mother whose data is undoubtedly on that disc I'm about to close all my bank accounts, sell my children, change my date of birth and obtain a new name by deed poll - just to be on the safe side.

Too late - I've ransacked your bank account, taken your name and adopted your children to use as chimney sweeps.

-Peterloo sucked as well.
Also
- putting Britain on the Gold Standard in the 1920's resulted in considerable hardship for working class people.
- 1980's Miners strike re (mis)use of MI5, Police & media. As well as engineering the strike in the first place (appointment of Ian McGreggor)
- John Major's gov't over-valuing the pound (as per it's 1920's predessessor) resulting in inevitable collapse.

Since when have Civil Servants been part of the Government?

And if you had been listening carefully, you would have heard about this rather more than a week ago.
