Bayley's a Blairite machine politician who'll regurgitate the party
line - anyway, what relevance does that have to Linux? ;)

It is not in this or any government's interest to "win" the "war on

civil liberties and centralisation of State control - which is what
governments, ultimately, are *for*.
