Monday 6 October: Digital inclusion - get your finger out!

|

Second day of the annual Asslic Conference - probably the only event in the world that starts on a Sunday and ends on Tuesday. I am not sure whether they do this to maximise the inconvenience or so they can get a cheap rate on the hotel. This year it is at the Coptic Manure hotel, which is in a strange and unfriendly place called Wales.

The keynote speaker this morning was, wait for it... the deputy minister for digital inclusion. There's a famous person for you, boyo. I could not help wondering who the actual minister for digital inclusion was and why we need multiple layer hierarchies of these creatures. Personally, I think it is time they got their finger out. On the other hand, if they are saving villages from dams that would otherwise burst, well then perhaps the public expesne is justified.
