AFAICT there are debates and shouting matches about this fiasco all the
time, it's just that nobody has the balls to say "We screwed up, so
let's just scrap the whole thing and start again". They're doing the
same thing with the National ID card too.
IMHO they should also sue iSoft, if they aren't already.
> "Just *where* has this UK taxpayers money gone?"
Same place as the rest of it, into some old-boy/Freemason's back pocket.
> Though I've no doubt that Bliar would sidestep the issue.
No he'll just ignore it. That's the dictator's prerogative.

You don't need a committee for that, I can tell you right now - corruption.

I'm sure OPEC will be overjoyed.

It's just another day in the life of the poor and exploited.
Apple do it. Nike (just) do it (ho ho), and God knows the pharmaceutical
companies have been doing it for decades.
