We’re determined that government websites should be efficient and meet people’s needs - easy to find, easy to use, and fully accessible. And in our relentless drive to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the way we use websites to meet this goal, we have already closed 900 now unnecessary government websites, with plans to close nearly 500 more. And we will set new challenging standards of quality and accountability for government websites - including a requirement that each one allows feedback and engagement with citizens themselves.  From today no new website will be allowed unless it fully meets these requirements.

With Mygov, citizens will be in control - choosing the content relevant to them and determining their level of engagement. And their feedback will in turn help us to improve services

We know that for every transaction with a public service that is done online rather than over the telephone we can save around £3.30 in administration and staffing costs.  And using the internet rather than filling in paper forms or writing letters can typically save £12 each time

Revitalising our politics, our governance and our democracy means going beyond simply increased openness about previously secret information - it requires the policy-making monopoly of ministers and the civil service to be challenged - where practicable - through a step change in the opportunities for people to engage with and interact with government in its policy proposals

The web and the internet offers us a chance to reinvent “deliberative democracy” for the modern age.

Ultimately this can provide the basis for them to participate in deliberative processes to formulate policy - setting off a historic shift in the way public policy is made.

This includes opening more policy development to wider scrutiny, for example through the use of e-petitions and deliberative events

Since it was established at the end of 2006, the number 10 e-petitions service has received more than 70 thousand petitions. There have been more than 12 million signatures placed and the Government has replied with more than 8 million e-mail responses. Each week I record a podcast and use twitter most days. Number10.gov.uk carries out daily conversations with more than 1.7 million followers. There have been almost 2 million views of our images on flickr and 4.3 million views of our films and videos on YouTube.

Ayant réa­lisé que la situa­tion était deve­nue incon­trô­lable, le gou­ver­ne­ment a changé de stra­té­gie : ils ont pré­senté une nou­velle ver­sion des faits, affir­mant que Khaled Said se serait fait tuer suite à la conver­sion de ses frères au judaïsme et à leur demande de natu­ra­li­sa­tion amé­ri­caine. Khaled, soupçonné d’être tenté de les rejoindre, aurait donc été assas­siné par des isla­mistes, ce qui, au regard de son tout nou­veau sta­tut de traitre, n’était pas bien grave, fina­le­ment. Par contre, plus ques­tion de toxicomanie. Pour appuyer ses affir­ma­tions, le gou­ver­ne­ment fit cir­cu­ler une photo qui ne fai­sait guère que démon­trer sa faible mai­trise de Photoshop. Elle fut immé­dia­te­ment dénon­cée sur Facebook.

Les mili­tants, de leur coté, sont pas­sés à l’étape sui­vante : ils ont demandé à tout le monde d’écrire « Non à la tor­ture, non à l’Etat d’urgence, ce pays est le nôtre : Nous sommes tous Khaled Said », ainsi que d’autre mes­sages reven­di­ca­tifs sur tous les billets de banque qui leur pas­sait dans les mains afin de dif­fu­ser leur mes­sage sur quelque chose dont il est dif­fi­cile d’arrêter la cir­cu­la­tion : l’argent.
