Whose Fault?

Auntie has been giving this story a fair airing this morning.

Vehicles worth £13m have been stolen as a result of the loss of thousands of blank DVLA log books, a BBC investigation has found.

The police say they could be dealing with the impact of the blunder for over a century.

Criminal gangs use the stolen vehicle registration documents to sell cloned cars on the private market.

This is because, it seems, DVLA have managed to “mislay” the blank registration documents. I urge you to remember this somewhat lax approach to the management of documents when you listen to idiots such as Michael Cross argue that DVLA data held on us should be in the public domain.

Unrepentant, the chief executive of the DVLA, Noel Shanahan, was on the box stating “not our fault guv.”

If it’s a criminal act then clearly we can’t be held responsible for that.

Yes. You. Can. You produced the documents. You lost them. Your fault.
