Jeremy Clarkson’s bank account blunder

He is a person that you either like or hate, he is outspoken about most things and his no nonsense approach to things has made him very popular, but when the government mislaid the details of twenty five million people in the UK, he just had to put his little bit into the arguments that followed.

In an attempt to stop people from moaning he wanted to prove the point that there was nothing to worry about, by publishing his bank, car and other personal details in his column in the Sun, after all what could possibly go wrong?

Well when he checked his bank statement he noticed that some had set up a direct debit in the favour of the charity Diabetes UK for £500! So now we all know the damage that could be done if someone did actually get hold of the two discs containing those details.
