Ok folks here we go for day two.

Yesterday saw Gordon Brown  do a recorded piece to the conference, today the other two main party leaders send us their bits.

Its interesting to hear people talking around the conference on how this is a ’strange’ year, with few people sure of the impact of the election, what a hung government will mean and just what position ICT has in either a continued recession or a recovery….or both!!

Some are   than others while some see the need to upskill UK Plc as crucial even of this means less ‘fluffy’ use of ICT and a reduction in some of the glossy uses, often citing the impending vast reduction in the BBC’s website as a case in point.

Maybe its just the way with MP’s but i’ve yet to hear one answer a question on ICTs impact on the social agenda fully, often just coming out with the same old line of  “the two are very much linked…” Well we know that but what are you guys doing to help it and us achieve it.??? (Early morning rant over!)

Ive got piccies but they are two big to upload right now and ive not got picassa on here so will have to wait till I get back. Sorry folks.

bye for now
