Poor old el Reg

Oh el Reg you really do have it in for GDS don't you? I guess you'd rather go back to the good old days of depts throwing tens of billions of pounds at massive SIs on IT projects that never get delivered. At least with GDS only a tiny fraction of the money is being spent (or "wasted" in your eyes). Rather spend your time making ad hominem remarks about all the kids in hoodies running around Whitehall than seeing any kind of attempt at breaking the status quo.

So sorry you haven't got the schadenfreude you were anticipating this time. Don't worry, I'm sure if you keep up the attacks the establishment/old guard will win out in the end!
