The Underscore Archives

"You've got to laugh at these idiots really though haven't you?
Funding and organising themselves some cosy conference in a suitably
tasteful and costly environment to talk about self-serving
interpretations of internet democracy. Petitions have historically
achieved nothing and everyone knows consultation is a pointless farce.
Putting this kind of stuff on the net won't change anything.

Highlights on the day include a welcome from 'Mr Digital' himself,
Labour's money-man John Bees who can't even seem to operate a pocket
calculator properly and Green councillor Charlie Bolton talking about
blogging, which promises to be a bit like listening to John Terry on
ballet."

Oh, and the Watershed is "the home of the city's laptoperati", apparently. Mmm.
