    "At its heart, the strategy will tackle the knowledge economy’s pent up issues - how to fund superfast broadband, how to foster IT skills and how to induce mass take-up of IT.

    I run a business. I hope I get to have my say.......

    So our beloved masters want IT to take up the economic slack from the financial sector? Well, here's a radical thought for them...why not stop trying to screw people like us into the ground with their taxes and beaurocracy and let us get on with trying to do just that?

    Rant over - Hi ho Silver AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.......
