Mail mix-up reveals MPâs messages
An e-mail blunder has resulted in a Cumbrian hairdresser receiving top secret messages meant for an MP. Ronnie Campbell, who runs the Kutting Krew Salon in Barrow-in-Furness, described some of the content - apparently sent from the House of Commons - as "frightening". The mail appears to have been meant for the Labour MP for Blyth Valley in Northumberland, who is also called Ronnie Campbell. Mr Campbell received information on Iraq policy and an advance copy of Tony Blairâs conference speech. He said he had informed officials of the mix up. "Iâm just a hairdresser but I could have been a terrorist, thatâs the worrying thing," he said. "I deleted them as fast as I could, but they came on my computer with my name on, so I opened them."
As they say in the IT business, "Oops!"
