Progressive Governance Summit: ‘We are listening’

The government’s Promoting Prosperity website for the Progressive Governance Summit is up with an introduction from the man himself:

‘By logging onto this website you have a chance to put forward your ideas on how to tackle some of the biggest challenges of our times. I urge you to add your voice to the debate. We are listening.’

Finally, a chance to be heard. A chance to speak. No more pissing in the wind or whistling in the dark.

Except.

When you click to go to the discussion page…

‘These pages are currently in development.’

Oh dear. He is listening, honest. You’ll just have to shout.

(It should be noted that the Progressive Governance Summit is this weekend.)

Update 4/4: The site’s now down. Does anyone have the password?

In related news, Iain Dale does concentration camp jokes. That’s where Ken Livingstone went wrong when he called that Evening Standard reporter a concentration camp guard. If only he’d joked about the whole organisation being Nazis it would have been much funnier.

   They only listen if they agree with you. How stupid does he think the voters are when he bangs on about this ridiculous notion of Labour caring what we think?
