The Digital Economy Bill: Bananas!


Over at Confused of Calcutta, JP Rangaswami has written a crystal clear article on why we should be concerned about the content and treatment of the Digital Economy Bill.

Wherever you live, whatever your interests I urge you to read it.

If you live in the UK, whatever your position I urge you to write to your MP and tell them you want this bill properly debated.

Mr Lepper, you have not had time to acknowledged my letter. I hope I can assume that you are busy reading up on the bill, getting ready to ensure that the proper democratic process is observed. I recommend you add Mr Rangaswami’s blog post to your reading list.
