Quote of the Day
Shadow Minister for DCMS, Lord Howard of Rising said…
“… this new duty will extend Ofcom’s duty to promote investment to specific web services meeting specific public service definitions only. However, Section 264(6) in the Communications Act defines public service as content that covers: education and entertainment; cultural activity; civic understanding; sporting and other leisure interests; science, religion and other beliefs… These are broad categories and are difficult to reconcile with the Government’s statement that they will apply to specific web services only. Will Ofcom have a duty to promote investment in political blogs such as ConservativeHome or Guido Fawkes..?
Well that would be a turn for the books
On the first day of the new government, Cameron should announce a commission that will investigate all ZaNuLabour legislation of the last 12 years for evidence of erosion of civil liberties and annul it.
Second day: repeal the European Community act of 1973
Third day: start work on ‘The Plan’
In fact, why not save time, annul everything they’ve done over the last 12 years. Can any of it be said to be in the interest of the country?
There is this, of course, which ZNL were trying to get deleted a while back :

Let’s hope so!
