Recess Monkey has received an invitation to a reception hosted by the All-Party Group on Identity Fraud on 31st January, 4-6pm in the Astor Suite, 1 Parliament Street.
The purpose of the event is to provide Parliamentarians with a chance to learn more about Britain’s fastest growing crime and to meet with senior members of Scotland Yard who deal with this issue.
“All those who attend will be given the opportunity to have a photo taken with a uniformed police officer and a bin containing personal information that could, if it got into the hands of identity thieves, lead to identity fraud being committed”.
“Tea and scones will be served at the reception”.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to attend this event under a false identity. Please let Recess Monkey know if you blag a scone and send a photo with you and a copper/bag of rubbish.
ID fraud isn’t that difficult. An employee at a blue-chip company once offered Recess Monkey tickets to Wimbledon on the understanding I had to pretend to be David Miliband - so they could tell their boss they had “influenced” the rising star.
I did of course decline. But if they had offered me Formula One tickets…

If they’d offered you F1 tickets, hon, I’d have fought you for them.

Then again, you are the spitting image of David Milliband, so it makes sense.
The only difference I can see is that he managed to win at the General Election…

Ouch. Bit low, that one, nsb.
Of course, if you did pretend to be David Miliband, you could create a “Favourite Miliband” badge for yourself!
