HUMAN LAW: The Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott in appearing to display his ignorance of the internet when he spoke about allegations about his private life observed in a BBC radio interview with John Humphreys "...I think it's called the internet, isn't it, or blogs or something, I've only just got used to letters, John, I haven't got into all this new technology, but I watched the guy on television last night who does that, saying I have no evidence for these allegations I have made."   (via Cosmos)

  Charon QC”¦the Blawg: The Loans for Honours scandal rumbles on and now that Special Directorate Plod have got their teeth stuck into a few of the protagonists (and who knows if Mr Blair will be interviewed?) and the fourth estate are circling in bloodied waters, hyperventilating, we can be absolutely certain that this story will not go away until all is revealed.

  A Liberal Goes A Long Way: There is no wriggle-room in the Code for Mr Prescott to hide behind the skirts of his permanent secretary: it is Mr Prescott’s responsibility, and his alone, to ensure that no member of the public - and no business rival to Mr Anschutz - could reasonably infer a conflict of interest might have arisen. Our Deputy Prime Minister treated this bond of trust with contempt. (via Cosmos)

Benedict Brogan's political blog: John Prescott has a problem with the Internet. He admitted as much in his epic interview with John Humphrys on the Today programme yesterday (you can read it here or listen to it here), when he said: "I think it's called the internet, isn't it, or blogs or something, I've only just got used to letters John, I haven't got into all this new technology."

The King's BLOG - Views from Kingsley: I watched Newsnight last night and the press, as you know - most people don't - and it's called, I think it's called the internet, isn't it, or blogs or something, I've only just got used to letters, John, I haven't got into all this new technology .

  Stephen's Linlithgow Journal: In desparation he asks Humphries if this is going to be edited. It wasn't and the transcript is fully available on the BBC Website. (via Cosmos)

 [Governancenotes.blogspot.com] governancenotes.info: Local authority sponsorship of the Government Connect programme is to migrate from Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council to the North West e-Government Group, under the sponsorship of Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, Minister for Local e-Gov Jim Fitzpatrick MP has announced.

[E-democracy.gov.uk] Blog Archive: The Local e-Democracy National Project is looking for a group of civic leaders - up to 15 Chief Executives and the same number of Senior Officers - to take up the fine art of Blogging. An eDemocracy project involving the Hansard Society, North Lincolnshire Council, and experienced bloggers from Minnesota (!)

 [Newstatesman.co.uk] New Media Awards 2006 Weblog: Bloggers, such as Steve Rubel, point out that it is difficult to trust statistics as there is no standard method for measuring blog readership. Some also point out that merely asking people if they read blogs (as Gallup did) is not an accurate measurement, as many may not realise that they are reading blogs at all.

 [Clients.voltuum.com] Raw Carrot: I am a little sad as I did enjoy poking holes in the UK’s E-Government rejects projects. I also quite enjoyed slagging off Lefties and Statists and being supported by various significant figures of the right-wing and right-minded “blogosphere”.

 [Perfect.co.uk] perfect.co.uk / eDemocracy: There’s been some lively debate over the weekend sparked by Tariq Ali’s comment piece (For one day only, I’m a Lib Dem) and Peter Hain’s riposte (Vote for the Lib Dems and you will risk a Tory victory), no doubt brought sharply into focus by the current state of play in the polls and John Kampfner’s observations (In the real world, Iraq does matter).

 [Dizzy Thinks] Are they really technophobes?: The BBC then cites Alastair Campbell's article for AOL's /discuss campaign in which he said Downing Street was a "pen and paper" place and he used to get people to type his emails for him from hand written notes. Finally they close with a quote from Prescott's now infamous interview on Today last week where he said, "I think it's called the internet, isn't it, or blogs or something, I've only just got used to letters, John, I haven't got into all this new technology." Basically, the BBC's main thrust is that the entire government hasn't got a clue about IT, at least that is "the line".
