Looks like we're nicely on course for the next Government IT fiasco -
It will, of course, cost us, the Taxpayer billions, but WTF, it's not Gordon's money he's throwing at the likes of IBM, and I wouldn't mind betting he gets a nice little part time consultancy number with them to top his pension up when we all kick the slimey b*stard out in 2 years time

But a spider's not an insect.
