A case for accountable transparency

Only yesterday this blog posted on accountable transparency, and suggested that the BBC might be an interesting place to start.

(For those new to the concept, accountable transparency is the revolutionary notion that we, the people, should be able to see how state organisations are spending our money. Databases and the internet now make this practicable for any organisation with halfway decent IT. Well, okay, but the USA can do it.) Accountable transparency is the new democracy.

Today the excellent Sue Cameron reports on a BBC Bonding Day. Read and cringe.

The bonding day cost £10,000. That is how they treat our money.

This money belongs to the people.
