If Norman Baker ever leaves Parliament it will be a sad day. He loves asking the most awkward and amusing information gleaning questions of all the MPs it seems. In recent days he has been asking what the most and least popular websites that departments have are. For example, the Northern Ireland office main website is very popular as you would imagine. However, the website they set up at howsecureisyourhome.com has managed to receive a mere 5,909 hits between January and August this year.
Should we be surprised at this? Let's be honest, if you live in Northern Ireland you're probably fairly security conscious right? Reprisal shootings and decades of bombs will have made you that way. Do you really need the Government to tell you how to lock a door or window? Also of largely no popularity is the HM Government website which currently contains the Draft Legislative Programme. It's managed to recieve 3,598 visits (not hits) since April. I can't imagine why something so immensely interesting would be so unpopular!
My favourite though has to be Were We Live - Building Communities through Culture and Sport which averages about 500 hits a month, and looks like someone vomited on the screen when you visit it.
