Can't see how the government spending almost £1 Bn on this is going to
generate too many jobs. Most call centres etc seem to be located abroad
anyway. It will be great for on-line gamers and people who download massive
files. I can't understand why the Government is so keen to promote it. Am
I missing something here??

It costs around £5 for a local council to deal with a question by post.
If it's done via a web site it costs less than 20p. The government wants
everyone to use the web so they can shut down the expansive support
services used by fewer and fewer people.



That's why our MP told us to send letters..not a petition.*Individual*
letters.

It makes a mockery of all that cost saving. And they find it hard to
ignore. One petition only needs on 'Michael Mouse' on it to be entirely
discredited.

A thousand on line objections can vanish at the touch of a key.

Know thine enemy..registered post is even better as they have to sign
for the ruddy lot..
