Description:

Paxman hosts a Newsnight discussion / cross-examination on the evening of a government confession that the personal and financial records of 25 million UK citizens have been pumped out of a central database, burnt onto a couple of compact discs, and then lost.... A Labour spokeswoman is given the unenviable task of defending the indefensible. Listen to the Cambridge prof - not only does he speak absolute sense, but you have to admire the manner in which he calmly conveys to the viewer: "We tried to tell the government not to put all the eggs in one basket, but the arrogant bastards wouldn't listen".....

Hang on a minute. If the banks are giving a guarantee...and in light of the bank of england bailing out the 'credit crunchers' e.g Northern Rock... then whatever happens, the UK taxpayer will be footing the bill. Is this corporate fascism ?
