[dundee] Digital Economy Bill 3rd Readin

[Kris Davidson]

The lords still has to confirm it but yeah, this is bullshit. A bunch
of back bench labour MPs made the biggest noise. The talking-heads and
pundits were already doing the rounds on TV and radio talking about
how most of the 20,000 letters were from America, and how there isn't
actually a lot of opposition. Yet every man and his dog is up and arms
over the 'death tax' et al. I hear they're going to rename it the
'were-coming-to-take-your-children-tax' (!)

The media is equally to blame though both in coverage and in the
pundits and talking headers they let on. If all three choices are
complete dicks then what is the virtue of a democratic system.
