Lots and lots of pennies for your thoughts

Jon Walker

TOM Watson has got £20,000 to give away – and you don’t even need to vote for him.

The Labour MP for West Bromwich East has been put in charge of improving the Government’s Internet services.

And to help him out, Private Watson has asked the public to suggest their own ideas – with a prize of £20,000 for the best.

So far he’s had a grand total of 200 ideas. This isn’t bad, but when someone offers £20,000 for doing almost nothing, you’d have thought more people would sign up.
