A Request to Hazel Blear’s Laptop Thief
Poor wee Hazel Blear’s has had her laptop stolen. Normally I’d feel a load of sympathy for someone in this predicament, but not this poison chipmunk (insult borrowed from the NewPortCity blog). Maybe there is some sort of Conservative conspiracy operating this week to get all the NuLabour gingers thrown out of office! I’m just waiting to see some innocent ginger being caught in the cross fire… watch out Chris Evans.
We’re told there were a couple of low level government documents that aren’t really that up to date and have a classification of sensitivity that doesn’t even merit the slightest concern. Surely, the same rules should apply to her as to those civil servants that picked up the “British Rail” sandwich packs and put them away, all the time thinking they were top secret dossiers? Weren’t they instantly suspended pending an investigation? I’ve scoured the news websites, but can’t see any such announcement about wee Hazel. I’m betting she won’t be doing the honourable thing until she gets pushed of the Brown Express as it leaves Shit Creek Station on the way to Extinctionville!
If she used it for constituency work then there must be data about private citizens on there surely? Could well be a breach of the Data Protection Act here, but where’s the toothless and worthless Richard “ICO” Thomas when you need him? Sounds like a big cover up is going on to keep her in a job.
Hopefully, Davie-Boy Cameron will really hammer home this issue at PMQs this week. Of course, Gordie will mumble something incomprehensible then throw us a clever curved ball about him still having a Home Office Minister, and one at that who doesn’t spitting out dummies and throw rattles out of the pram. Should be an interesting one if I can stay awake.
So what is my request to the thief… please, please give this laptop back to wee Hazel, but do it through a major news organisation that will exam it before handing it back to the NuLabour spin machine. You have a chance to reveal the truth to the world on this and be a big hero.
