Government websites are a '£5bn waste'

The survey, by the internet analysts Porter Research ... said 
government sites ... "full of unexplained jargon and convoluted,
incomprehensible English"

It criticised politicians, saying few appeared to understand the 
nature of the medium. "They probably rarely even look at their 
websites, let alone try to use them. If they did try to use them 
they would be appalled at the way visitors to them are treated."

among the worst offenders.

 "Perceptions" note: - waste, hypocrisy and refusal to
  communicate are s.o.p for the secretive (and stupid)
  bureaucrats. We expect no change in our `rulers'

  Our motto - `good communicators tell the truth'
 
  Ask "Google" for "Perceptions"
