Let's face it. All of our products, goods and services have gone corporate. Very little within the supply chain is created through true entrepreneurship. The only industry left which has not been completely corporatized is the Food industry. The Consumer Electronics Business, Office Equipment, Clothing, Furniture, Musical Products Industry, Automobile Industry,Drugs, Pharmaceuticals, Prescription Drugs, Food, Leisure, Gambling, licquor Home & Business Appliance and Electronics Industry, Books and related products, etc. have all become Corporatized and are no longer part of the Mom & Pop retail store model. Not to mention, Corporate America now on line, such as Amazon, E Bay, Craigs List and the Travel Industry. So, when Small Businesses are addressed in the context of being an important aspect of our hiring configuration and employment data. Let's face it, small business is not as important as reported by the large Media Outlets, who also are Corporate. So unless Occupy Wall Street has a plan or an agenda, they are blowing dust to the wind.

I work with sensitive medical information and if I ever print anything I shred it as soon as I no longer need the printout - basically that means within two hours of printing it.
There is absolutely no need for ministers to be carrying around printed information nowadays.

After all it would be much easier to not lose a laptop... wouldn't it...
Oh hang on a minute there seems to be a flaw in my argument.

The more I read about politicians the more I'm convinced that an ape on acid could do a better job.

Note to self: Must use different bins each time. And wear disguise.

oh dear, another slap on the wrist, never mind don't do it again. so much for trust in our great leaders.

It would seem from this and the Fox issue that Tory ministers believe that the rules do not apply to them.

A few weeks ago we had a cabinet minister walking out of No10 with Secret documents clearly on show,what happened ....Nothing but when the head of teh Police Counter Terrorist Squad did the same he had to resign.......

In the past the Torys have made much about the LOSS of sensative papers and computer discs and the like by the last Labour government but I would suggest that LOSS is very different from DUMPING,,,,,,,One is ACCIDENTAL the other is DELIBERATE...........

I find it difficult to believe that this is just an "innocent mistake".
Many of us shred our bills and anything else that only contains our name and address on it - as we are very aware of identity theft nowadays.
