I can’t imagine the cacophony of office shredders harmonising and PC recycle bins being permanently emptied at No. 10 right now.
Don’t Single click on a file and press delete followed by enter.
No, don’t do that because that would be wrong
What do they think the staff at Downing St have been doing for the past 7 days?
> DO not SHRED THE THINGS!
— Nudge, nudge, wink, wink department
Any emails probably deleted within 3 months automatically unless archived, been that way for years – and thats probably the best evidence (invites being sent out etc.)
Pretty amazing that Government can just get rid of parliamentary email and info
By warning staff at No 10 “against destroying relevant information”, I can only envision a Malcolm Tucker type screaming at frightened staffers “destroy fucking everything ASAP you dopey fucking fucksticks!!!”
Fuck me, Iannucci got it spot on didn’t he?
>**Claire Ballentine:** Are you lying to me now about not lying to me before?
>**Hugh**: No, I am not a liar. I categorically did not knowingly not tell the truth, even though unknowingly I might not have done.

Most likely they were warned not to get *caught* destroying information. The Tory party is more than happy to lose documents that make them look bad, like their pedophile dossier that obviously had some high profile names on it so had to be destroyed.
>Tampering with evidence, or evidence tampering, is an act in which a person alters, conceals, falsifies, or destroys evidence with the intent to interfere with an investigation (usually) by a law-enforcement, governmental, or regulatory authority. It is a criminal offense in many jurisdictions.
“Destroying relevent information” is such a soft way of saying tampering with evidence or destruction of evidence, which is what wording would be used if peons such as us did something like this.
Rules for thee but not for me.
Is this because they have a habit of doing so? iIRC there has been cases of phones “breaking” and messages “disappearing” before.
Something tells me the warning is more of a suggestion.
They’ll just hire an intern quickly, get them to do it, then claim it was an employee error.
From the title you can tell what they were told to do.
Transalation: Destroy it so we aren’t fucked. Blame the lowest positions, fire them and set them up as scapegoats so we can claim we sorted this out.
Staff from Number 11 brought in to destroy evidence it is. *taps head* You don’t run a corrupt government without knowing how to exploit loopholes.
