    "I can assure you there has been no breach of our secure data storage systems"

    I would like most the external BG humans classify my email and account password as stored by BG with 1 leak as a breach of a 'secure data storage system'

    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)
