Just noticed something weird - Jonesy is now claiming that the IBM deal will provide £140,000,000 in "procurement savings".

Now, b*gger me if I've got a suspicious mind, and tell me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the same as 1,000 x £140,000?

Surely the two can't be connected, can they? "Coming clean" (and ending this blog) will now require a bit of detail on what exactly Jonesy means by "procurement".
As for the "joining the dots" project - it is progressing. The cast of characters has been drawn up, and some of the scenes set ... on the magic bus ... Roger's monologue ... a late night at the bar ...

Blog 2 - Why?
This blog may or may not progress. It is a work of fiction inspired by dealings between Somerset County Council & IBM - the untold story. The progress of the blog will depend on how long the story remains untold. There is a choice: either they tell us, or we make it up!
Ordinarily very few people would give a damn. Like they said on West Eye View, "nothing new" (the Council working with the private sector that is).
However, ordinarily we would not expect to hear journalists saying things like " ... delicate stage in the negotiations ... meeting occurred which is so sensitive ... we can't talk about it for legal reasons ..." We would also not expect to hear that even people who have been sworn to secrecy have been fobbed off with half the story. Especially members of the Council.
There are bits of information floating around the internet, and hints of hackers and leakers and all the rest. The source material is available. So this blog depends on "them". If they come clean and tell us what it is all about, and what REALLY happened, then we'll just blog off.
Otherwise we will have to join the dots for ourselves. And even if it sounds terribly serious, I'm sure we can have a little fun doing it!
