Every home will have.....

Gordon Brown has said that every home, school doctors surgery etc will have broadband by 2012.
Hey what does it matter that thousands are losing their jobs and homes every month, just so long as everyone has got broadband.

I saw on the news that one school in London said they couldn't teach without the internet...All the pupils were sat facing a big screen watching it...bit like using the internet as a babysitter while the teachers did what?????
When I was in school there was no internet, we used books, pen and paper..did research in the library from books. Then again we knew how to read and write before we left school, hey maybe I'm old fashioned but I believe in the three R's.

What happens if you don't want broadband in your house are they going to make you take it? Say you don't have, need or want a computer in your house maybe it will go something like this.....

Knock on door
HH (Householder) Yes can I help you?
BBF(Broadband fitter) Hello I have come to connect you up to broadband.
HH But I don't want broadband.
BBF Sorry, the Government has said every home must have broadband.
HH I don't have a phone let alone a computer.
BBF Don't have a computer??, what do you do with yourself in the cold dark nights.
HH I read books
BBf Books what are they?
HH Eh you what?
BBf Only joking I know what books are, but that is old fashioned and you can read lots more on the internet.
HH No thanks, I like reading books
BBF Sorry but I have to install this
HH I'm not letting you in
BBF That's okay, I'll let myself in when you go out, I'm allowed to do that you know I am also food police.
HH But I'm living in a tent, on a traffic island in the middle of a main road, where are you going to put it.
BBF Tell you what, you apply for planning permission the extend your tent 5 inches and I will put it out here,
HH planning permission to extend my tent..your kidding..
BBF No you are not allowed to extend any dwelling without planning permission. While I'm here I will check out your food stores as well, make sure you have nothing illegal like full cream milk etc.
HH Go away.
BBF Nearly finished installing it, I will be gone soon
HH This is pointless.
BBF This is the Governments way of making sure every home has has the same opportunity.
HH Why not use the money to create some jobs, or lift people out of poverty, give to the NHS or schools.
BBF Just doing my job mate, not my job to tell the Government what to spend tax payers money on.

After the BBf has gone the HH goes down to local travel agents and books a one way ticket to the moon .....only to find when he gets there that Gordon has got there first and is installing broadband ............
