Debs, the problem seems to be that no-one in Government circles has the brain
power to cope with advanced concepts like encryption and planning a complete

Good rant.
According to last night's In Touch RNIB have taken DWP to court with 5 cases
at the moment and have more on the way.
Let's hope something comes out of them.
If on-line banking is safe enough why not benefits etc? I've never
understood.
