(Thread) #CivilSocietyStrategy - A few observations:
1. #localgov have a stat duty to secure sufficient services & activities for young people to improve well-being. It got a few paragraphs. We've waited a long time for a Youth Strategy & focus on high quality youth work.
2. Youth work & services don't seem to seen as part of a system or a sector that involves central and local govt, social and private sector organisations which intertwines - can't have one without the others #CivilSocietyStrategy
3. It's a good start. We still need to talk about money and sustainability #CivilSocietyStrategy

It's a criminal offence to falsifying a legal instrument. But if the #MetPolice / #LBRUT do it, then there is not even an investigation. 12 years of silence. Evidence to prove it - ukcoverup.com/search-warrant-

Welcome to the #Metpolice who also changed & falsified my arrest details. Have a look at the evidence here ukcoverup.com/arrest-details as it's all easy to prove & that's why it's never addressed

So, remarkably today was my last day at GDS after six years so I'm going to treat/subject you to a thread...

Such mixed emotions. I've been so lucky to call this my workplace. It's been an absolute privilege so I am at once incredibly excited and desperately sad.
There's a lot to reflect on what I've done and what I've learnt in the six years since @ejhp's invitation to join @SarahPrag and @marksheldon on the team prepping to launch GOV.UK.
I spent a lot of those first months wrestling Business Link. And apparently I still can't escape it...@Shotclog reminded me he still had this folder the other day. It contains a hard drive of BL's 77,000 pages and all its associated miscellany. A white folder emblazoned with the original businesslink.gov.uk logo

And so the Bloody Garden Villages look dead and buried in their current proposed form. The Government Inspector has written to the four local authorities, telling them pretty much 'could try harder' braintree.gov.uk/download/downl… [pdf]
OUCH.
Thready, thread, etc.

Interesting call to action from @markthompson1 and colleagues for #legogovernment Who doesn't want better public services with more resources going directly to serving those in need powered by a digital commons (the what)? What we really need though is more on the how! - #thread
1) I'm a big fan of @markthompson1 and his beligerent poking of government to be and do better in the #internet age. His thinking on #platform government #paas #gaap is right on the money. However, some things to consider as part of the debate...hopefully helpful...
2) I'm not sure comparisons between government and the big #tech #innovators of the past 10 years do the #legogovernment argument justice. There are too many differences for the comparison to be helpful. Think lack of democratic accountablity for starters (more now than ever!)...
