The one eyed Scottish Idiot talks more bulldo.

[Dishevelled Den]

Jusus would indeed have wept

[Lazydocker]

Why laptops?

Surely a cheap tower would be just as good

[KillerWatt]

According to that idiot we have f**k all money in the coffers to start with, so just how are we going to pay for all this shit? (probably by installing more cameras to catch you putting your bin out on the wrong day).

Here's a novel idea for saving the UK money though.....let's just do what the rest of Europe does and send the immigrants back to where they came from the minute they are caught at the port.

  splendid Richie - and quite possibly true

Now there is the key word aspiration we all, or at least some of us do aspire for greater achievement. The idea that some families may actually bother to find out what their children are doing at school is all very laudable, but most of the families who can't afford laptops (because they don't have enough money in the first place) would probably sell them to put food on the table (good idea) or buy more fags (not so good). I just wonder if the whole idea was conjured up by minion M.P. in the home office who really should know better. Still I despair at this governments futile attempts to entice the ever sceptical public into voting for them.

Without doubt this would be true if these fabled laptops ever get to their destinations. 

This is a government project.  This means that some genius civil servant will negotiate a fantastic deal with some highly respected supplier of computer equipment.  Or to put it another way, they'll buy up a warehousefull of obsolete hardware from some dodgy entrepreneur (probably Lord Sugar), provide them with a misconfigured operating system (probably Windows ME), load them with state of the art (1998) application software and supply them in very expensive laptop bags to all the wrong people.  The shrinkage between warehouse and school will be phenomenal, due mainly to incompetence and stupidity rather than actual larceny, so forget 270,000 - think 150,000. 

The supplied computers will be totally unreliable, so after about 2 years of constant complaints, they'll farm out the maintenance to some dodgy entrepreneur (probably Lord Sugar), who'll then fly 1500 sub-continental computer science graduates into the UK to sort out the problems, which they won't, because their English language skills will prove to be inadequate.  Meanwhile, the consultancy costs incurred (and subsequently disguised), which will be paid to some dodgy entrepreneur (probably Accenture),  will be breaking new records for government wastage.

Fantasy?  No - been there, done that, got the psychological scars to prove it.

Well he's already got the votes of all those benefit scroungers so now he wants to 'court' the poor people.Next he'll be dishing out waterproof boxes for the wino's under waterloo bridge.
