The public sector of the future should . . .: Display non-politicised open data, and allow the development of commercial apps using that data. Small clever uses of data. All non-sensitive data should be released to public domain for use freely, as real-time data that can be turned into apps.

I understand where you are coming from. I would like to discuss the issues you raise in a private forum, as I feel we have a lot in common and I may have some suggestions. Not all appropriate for an open forum (but all above board).

Hope you find time to respond positively to this.
