The journalist who broke the story about yet another lost disc, allegedly, is just like one of the worst kind of old fashioned malicious gossips. The one who takes pleasure in others misfortunes & always thinks the worst, knows more than you know yourself about your own business. In the end all the neighbours hate her & are on the miscreants side
Trying to pick out the facts, as far as possible, from confused accounts, somebody in the Netherlands sent sets of genetic fingerprints on a disc to the Attorney General, who passed it to the Crown Prosecution Service. There it sat until it was passed to National Policing Improvement Agency, the body responsible for the DNA database. NPIA then told Home Office Ministers that CPS had been sitting on the file for a year
Had the Dutch ever queried when they might expect to receive the results of their enquiries?
Why did the police snitch on the Prosecutors?
Do journalists really believe that this is another data loss story, or are they just so determined to shoehorn every last event into their latest ‘narrative’ that they will treat the rest of us like idiots?
Would anyone think this a story if it involved that old cliché of files which sit gathering dust while pin striped mandarins sit drinking their tea
