British Concerns About Bin-Raiding And Fraud
Nearly two-thirds (72%) of people in Britain are concerned about credit card fraud, 71% of adults are concerned about bank card fraud, 64% are concerned about identity fraud and 55% of the nation is concerned about bin raiding — the process of searching through bins to obtain personal financial information to commit fraud. Although nine out of ten people think that shredding is an effective way to destroy their personal and financial information, still only a third of people have access to a shredder at home and only one in ten regularly shred to safely dispose of personal information.

New Labour And Delivery
Received political wisdom is that modern governments, especially the present British government, are and will be judged by the public on whether they have "delivered". So "Has New Labour delivered?" will, it is suggested, be the key question on which the outcome of the next general election may turn (assuming, of course, that the opposition has regained a sufficient degree of political credibility for anybody to take them seriously as an alternative).

He wanted to know what in the world has happened to the polling fraternity and was MORI going to restart (sic) our regular series of monthly poll reports again now that we have an election looming (15 months and counting). I was surprised he's not hardwired to our website (although he says he is), and reminded him that our monthly poll record is still unbroken since it began in 1979, nearly 25 years ago and is there for all to see.
