This isn't really an example of UK culture. 15 years ago, UK gov sites were as bad as everywhere else. Some of the small number of good things that I can credit the Cameron government were a few of these changes, including the establishment of the Government Digital Service and changing "IT" education from learning how to use Word, to actually teaching all kids coding, starting in primary school.

End even if you compare Harvard’s CS50 vs CS courses in the UK, you will see that it’s a lot more oriented around computing in every day life. The BBC home computing shows and their success itself is a bit of a unique phenomenon in the UK. Many other countries had these shows but they never went mainstream, most only attracted viewership of enthusiasts. There is a strong cultural element.
