It is announced today that a plan to move all DOT salary handling, finance and administration to a singe site in Swansea, to save £57 million isn't working properly, is late and has cost £81 million to date. It is decribed by the Commons Public Accounts Committe as "monumentally incompetent" ID cards anybody?

Politicians, eh?

Our local morons put the contract to produce credit-card size drivers licenses out to tender...
The tender was awarded to the brother of a bloke who was financial adviser to the deputy leader of the ruling party...

Anyways, after much song and dance, it turns out that the licenses produced were rubbish - they only had your initials NOT first names, so were invalid as a form of ID, and also only gave the date of issue NOT the date when you passed your test. So car hire companies wouldn't accept them!!!
Bizarre indeed!
