Who the *#ll are the Government employing to screw up these projects? 
I deal in client based projects almost everyday, and have yet to drop the proverbial on such a monumental scale. If I HAD been so useless, my clients would have me out the door before I could breath out!

It would seem that the Government’s QA (Quality Assurance) procedures need a radical shake up.
Have they not heard of testing?
When I was working for the Bank(s) you had to jump through multiple hoops just to change an email address!
I personally am a victim of this fiasco ~ HMRC took a looooooong phone call to convince them that I’d got the wrong tax code. This resulting in a tax rebate of £200+; this being dwarfed by one friend who received over £2000 back from the tax man. 
It’s even more worrying when you read that the government are pushing ahead with the identity card scheme – the shared doctors database – and the police’s DNA database.
