I meant to be fair to Charlie Root's point. It's all very well blaming Broon & co for bringing this into the public domain, but Dizzy did bring it to a wider audience which had the potential to exacerbate the problem. Yes he pixellated the face, but that buys him little because he drew attention to the existence of the unedited version.<BR/><BR/>He wasn't to know if the photo would get pulled or not and so I think he should have erred on the side of caution instead of rubbing salt in the wound.<BR/><BR/>As for Andy's suggestion of the possibility of losing the story if Downing Street were prewarned, I have great faith in Dizzy's ability to keep records.<BR/><BR/>All in all, I just think he made the wrong call this time.

While your approach is the accepted norm for thing like IT security vulnerabilities, this beloved New Labour government operates well outside of "accepted norms". Do you really think that if Dizzy informs No.10 of this - sotto voce - that they will mend their ways and be more rigorous in future? This government and its apparatus will only do the right thing through sustained vociferous opposition and fear of continued public humiliation (10p tax rate, anyone?).Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11540228822230954785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-25467385624385404832008-08-20T23:56:00.000+01:002008-08-20T23:56:00.000+01:00Surely someone was suspicious when the photographe...Surely someone was suspicious when the photographer said<BR/><BR/> "You five cops hold this big red hula-hoop around this bloke in the middle."<BR/><BR/>I know would have been.Bill Quango MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861116614665461655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-66256196249071408422008-08-20T23:04:00.000+01:002008-08-20T23:04:00.000+01:00He's blind, goddamit, and those are his big glasse...He's blind, goddamit, and those are his big glasses.
