    Then he's a rotten writer as well as a rotten thinker. And you know perfectly well that the ranty nature of his drivel must mean that he really believes, in some confused way, that the individuals in the government gain by this.

    Absolutely.

    I signed this petition because I strongly believe the dashboard is a good idea. However if I was borderline on the issue, the opening rant would have turned me off it.

    I think having a place where people can look up all there pensions is a good idea. In reality though there are thousands of small schemes who would have to update the information to enable this to happen. Given government success with large scale IT systems nevermind thousands of inputs from people all with differing systems this was always going to be a massive struggle.


    The second question was always how was it going to be paid for? The issue here is security with millions of users.


    I want a lot of things in life it doesn't mean they can all be done, because individuals can not keep a spread sheet of data themselves.
