Universal Credit Launches Today

Today is the first launch of universal credit, at least if you live in Ashton on Lyne.  The anticipated grand launch has been wittled down to a single job centre, as the FT reports.  It was reported earlier that the IT is not properly tested.  It is even suggested that the so called "real time" database relies on manual documentation.  I cannot help but think that the current government is simply the most incompetent government of the modern era.
