Over at the BBC we have some news about the governments free laptop giveaway that most people except our communist leaders have already thought about :

A £300m government scheme to give free laptops to poor children is open to abuse, a Conservative MP has warned.

Mark Pritchard said constituents had raised concerns about computers given out under the Home Access Programme apparently being sold for cash.

He has asked Schools Secretary Ed Balls for more safeguards to prevent misuse of the vouchers, worth up to £528.

The scheme said it could not guarantee parents would not sell the laptops but it was monitoring E-Bay and pawn shops.

The initiative, announced by Gordon Brown in his 2008 Labour conference speech, gives poorer households vouchers to spend on laptops and internet access from approved stockists.

More money being pissed up the governments already stinking piss wall.
