Casting the net – Help an MP

No time for a full NetCast today, but I can point you in the direction of two debates that are ongoing.

The first is over at Tom Watson’s place, where the MP is asking for input as he begins his new role as a government technology Tzar. We all have a stake in the government’s various IT debacles projects, so Tom has to be credited for opening up a forum for debate.

Next up is the ongoing furore over the Lib-Dem inspired policy of outlawing patio-heaters. Lib Dem MEP Fiona Hall has picked up the idea and is running with it. Lib Dem Voice is hosting this one.

If any readers have any articles they’d like to plug, fire away in the comments.

The big problem with Tom Watson is this: ask him any awkward or interesting questions and he won’t publish it. Any mention of Surveillance Society and you’re straight into the bozo bin. Open goverment, my arse.
