I have a somewhat jaundiced view of anything to do with the Tories, and with the current administration in particular. I get the overwhelming impression of underwhelming talent, little attention to detail and no originality from either the Conservative or Liberal Democrat camps of the coalition.
This scheme feels particularly slipshod in its execution. I'd welcome a £1500 bursary to start up a business - who wouldn't? - but looking at this, I discovered that an entrepreneur looking to set up any business through this site would, in fact, not actually get any sort of money to help them whatsoever.
Here lies the hamartia, the fatal flaw, of this site: it is not what it seems. Your article just confirms all of my fears.
I'm sharing this with some people I know, who have an interest in the scheme. This article will have a marked effect on their decisions. Thanks for bringing it here.
There's no talent in the labour party either, it's as if we're going through a derth of political talent.
Having had a dig through the site myself too I was very disappointed at the total lack of meaningful support.
A bunch of recycled business link articles and useless vouchers worth nothing like £1500, most of which could be acquired elsewhere (the google one is especially crap compared to what you get elsewhere).
Considering how we treat our politicians in the UK is that any surprise?
Anyone with any talent or ability steers well clear of politics for good reason. The reason being that (almost) irrespective of what you do you'll be butchered by the press and the public.
If you have any substance then the likelihood you'll be voted in or accepted by either party is close to zero.
I hope the vote on the 5th of May for AV helps address this a bit.
I got a Google Adwords voucher worth £75 in the post the other day. I'm always getting them. Wait long enough, and they'll only send another one.
And yes, I thoroughly agree with your assertions about Labour, too. Right now, Parliament seems to be at its lowest ebb in terms of talent, honour, honesty or any kind of acumen.
We have not been led by so many, possessing so little clue, for generations.
