The UK government is closing down its offices and programmes like there
is no tomorrow because of the borrowings to pay for bankers mistakes
(instead of closing them down, replacing it with state banking, and then
asset stripping and making new commercially viable banks with the old
infrastructure - because there is no recession - the stock markets are
about where they could be but all the money is not in the hands of the
banks because they gambled it away and we don't owe banks a living!). They
are also closing down education projects. They would have to close a few
less if they let open source into education and government.
