Circle jerk
So HMG clawed back some of the money (our money!) which they gave to BT to roll out rural broadband - but they don't actually get to put the money back in the public purse for spending on schools, hospitals and bombs - they have to give it back to BT to roll out rural broadband. And meanwhile, most "rural areas" (including some within the M25) still struggle along with band which is more anorexic than broad.
I wonder if any of the civil servants who signed off on the original deal with BT are now working as highly-paid executives for (just a wild guess) ... BT?
