A bunch of baffled contractors charging by the day, that don’t really care how fucked up the project is as long as they get paid.

Yup, and who was regulating them? Was it, by any chance, a thick fucking Scottish c’unt called Brown, great glorious beloved leader of the much admired Labour Party?

Ah, yes, Labour.. Labour with the 1.5 trillion pound national debt. The debt that will not be paid off in our lifetimes. The Labour Party with the 20 million pound debt. And no members. And no support from the unions. And nothing in the way of support from the electorate (5 percent at the last elections.. pfft!). Labour with the leader (oh, he’s just so popular, ain’t he?) who banished boom and bust. The leader who doubled the income tax rate for the poorest workers. The same leader who flogged our gold at the bottom of the market? The leader who promised openness, and then gave us a secret Iraq Inquiry? He who promised honesty, and gave us McBride? And our referendum on the EU constitution? And who OK’d Sir Fred ‘Fellow Scottish tosser’ Goodwin’s pension?

As you say, you decide. But the electorate already have. And it will be slaughter for the socialist vermin.

This government cannot even manage an email subscription list and they are trying to implement a multi-billion pounds’ worth of biometic ID card system.

No problems anticipated.

71 & 77: Private Eye and, I believe, experts from Computer Weekly or similar, rumbled the NHS IT mess some time ago, but it hasn’t stopped the government from throwing shedloads of money at it. A friend who works in a London Mental Health Trust which is having the ‘Rio’ system (an offshoot of the ‘Spine’) foisted on the staff, says its a complete waste of space. I also know some people who have designed part of this system, and to describe them as numpties when it comes to serious computer stuff is probably accurate – however, they earn a very nice salary indeed. And they have a vested interest in continuing the project as long as possible, which can always be justified because the government keeps bringing in new policies and legislation
