Buy a shredder

Letter to London local newspapers
Sir
At New Year, many of us make resolutions that we then struggle to deliver. This year, why not make a simple resolution: to buy a shredder.
Of the top ten postal districts where identity fraud victims live, nine are in the London area. We have seen in recent months how careless Gordon Brown's Government has been with our personal data, following a number of high profile losses including the bank details of 25 million child benefit claimants.
The Government must smarten up its act, but you can also help protect yourself by shredding your personal documents.

Yours sincerely
