Talk:HMRC data loss scandal

Why is this on RationalWiki? It involves not pseudoscience, science, or philosophy. A good judge of whether it belongs is to see if any other article here can relevantly link to it. You know what? You can't relevantly link to it, from any article. It just doesn't matter here. So can we delete it? -- 01:18, 3 January 2008 (EST)

 * Article is junk, really. No one will ever link to it. Hence I put a mission template on it! human  00:36, 29 March 2008 (EDT)
