Unfortunately, most of the links are blocked by my (public sector organisation) firewall and security settings...

Websites blocked

It is well known that lots of public sector organisations and central government, block lots of websites e.g. social networking ones. Jeez, some council staff do not have access to external email. Despite this, there is still a push forward to spend a fortune on creating knowledge management websites that those people that the websites are intended for can not access.
