jamesb Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Lordy lordy, bit dense using a Hotmail account for constituency business: BBC NEWS | Politics | Straw hit by internet fraudsters And these people are supposed to be running the country and protecting us... To be fair, it doesn't look like it was his fault personally. The article mentions that 'a member of staff' replied to an e-mail claiming the hotmail account would be deleted if they didn't verify their details. Evidently some of his staff have no idea about internet scams. As to using hotmail for constituency business, how would they all afford their second home allowances, travel allowances and so on if they wasted money on luxuries like personal e-mail servers?

jamesb Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Well technically you could say that they are acting in our interests. In so far as most people's interests are to have a cushy job, high wage, lots of allowances for first class travel and expensive meals, and so on.
apoth0r Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Better a hotmail account then a government one? Good thinking Mr Straw......for once.

I bet that's a nice little earner, winning a few contracts to design MP websites. just reuse the same template and use red, blue or yellow color schemes as appropriate. 1
