[Bradford] Leveson's Revenge

[Robert Burrell Donkin]

It seems that BradLUG (and other small organisations) may end up
paying the ultimate price for the criminal actions of a small number
of corrupt criminal journalists. As I walking through Bradford
yesterday, I saw a lorry carrying a bill board advertising
compensation + £1000 back if you had an accident. If the Lords pass
the current compromise, then even losers in liable cases will be able
claim costs against SME websites so no doubt next year the lawyers
will be giving cash incentives for claims.

The open rights group have an automated email campaign[1]. Not sure
how effective it will be, and emails to MPs are officially recorded.
Still, at least I feel a little better now that I've done
something....
