Elitism gone mad

That Matthew Taylor is so, like, out of touch. Here’s what he’s got to say about ‘Britain Thinks‘:

“My slightly elitist concern that BritainThinks doesn’t encourage its participants to ask themselves whether their opinion is wanted, useful or soundly based is reinforced by the site’s slogan….

‘if you’ve got an opinion, here’s where to stick it”

Like Matthew, I’ve no idea how such a plainly stupid project has attracted the investment or energy that it has obviously used up in getting off the ground. Looking at it, you do wonder if it’s some clever campaign designed to illustrate Matthew’s point.
