Government employees being careless, lazy, and incompetent? No way......

That is not a mistake, it's simply government level of IT. They've accumulated a bit of technical debt but it's nothing a newly setup inter-department IT task force, 15 years and 150 billions won't fix.

I estimate over 100k cassette tapes and 353 man/year will be required to upgrade each of our computers to Windows 10.

Bunch of no good, lazy, dimwitted cretins. Edit: I was hoping to have faith in my government handling the situation properly when I voted to Leave and this has been the cherry on top. When can I come get an American citizenship, I want off this cold island.

The UK is clearly slipping. They're no longer on top of the world, or even close to it. Brexit was a disgrace! They should have stuck with the European Union. I don't know what came over them. Must be faggotry.
