Further rant.

With respect to Mary Hannafin, most so called IT experts who get dredged up to 
comment on things to do with the IT industry at, sometimes at best, 
quasi-technical.

Think of the sort of *experts* that have dropped bombshells recently, due to 
making sweeping statements, which may make for good news, but, have scant 
relation to anything even vaugely resembling fact.

So if the *consultant experts* and I use the term loosely here, haven't a clue, 
how could we expect a politician, who is most likely even less technical to 
have any kind of clue?

We can't.

Basically though, the easiest thing to do, is withold payment of tax as an 
individual, until the goverment spends it wisely.....

No I'm not a tax cheat...

I'm an open source activist!
