Government unsure how to cope after implementing something popular
http://newsthump.com/2011/02/02/government-unsure-how-to-cope-after-implementing-something-incredibly-popular/

Members of the government have this morning been staring blankly at each other without a clue what to do next after finally implementing something which proved to be extremely popular with the public.

The Police.uk website, which gives residents a view of how thoroughly dangerous their neighbourhood is, was inundated with visitors, leaving it off-line for most of yesterday.

A Home Office spokesperson said, “I’ve been in politics for thirty years and I’ve never implemented anything even remotely popular with the electorate – I’m really quite unsure what to do next. The site went down because we were completely unprepared for people to want to use it.”

“We assumed people would think it was useless, like everything else that we do. Â That’s how we manage on a day to day basis, we plan for abject failure and disappointment on a national scale.”

I understand that the site is particularly popular with Estate Agents in Preston.
