Sion Simon, the MP for Birmingham Erdington and Minister for Creative Industries, answers questions posed by the public through the Yoosk website, which you can find at www.yoosk.com.

The questions were put to him during Labours annual conference in Brighton by Jonathan Walker, political editor of The Birmingham Mail and Birmingham Post.

This question: "Digital Britain is a huge project - what lessons will you look to be learning from other huge government projects that have raised expectations but been ultimately disappointing?"

  • Sion Simon’s record

    Voted very strongly for the illegal Iraq war.

    Voted very strongly against any investigation into the illegal Iraq war.

    Voted strongly for introducing ID cards.

    Voted very strongly for Labour's so called "anti-terrorism" laws (a.k.a. totalitarian police-state laws).

    Those are the four big tests of whether an MP has any honour and decency, and, as we can see, Sion Simon failed all four of them.

  • What a plum this man is.

  • The digitalbritain project will never work until the infrastructure is sorted. Ministers who think we are going to be world leaders in the digital revolution clearly aren't getting IT.

    As long as the homes and businesses are fed with obsolete copper we can never compete, let alone be a world leader. This country excels in content, innovation and inspiring people. They are currently throttled by a telco milking a victorian phone network and calling it broadband. We need fibre to the home.
