Missed opportunity?

I can't help thinking that, if Alistair Campbell were still the head spin-meister at Number 10, that the story of the 25 million sets of personal details would be being dealt with rather differently! Instead of the sacking, sorry - resignation, of the head of Customs and Excise due to his abject failure to prevent the use of privatised postal services for the transportation of critical and private data on all of the nation's children we would be being asked to applaud the diligence of an unnamed bureaucrat who tried to save the nation's taxpayers about £2.50 by using a non-recorded, non-tracking service. If we only had more bureaucrats like this great gentleman or lady we would soon have saved enough to procure clean sheets for half the beds in the NHS!
