any UK based webmasters should be joining me in using the general election to stir a little bit of a fuss on this issue...it may be the last chance we get to prevent everything being handed over from HM Government to MS Government

simple things that can be done are...writing to/emailing your MP...writing in to Question Time on the BBC and suggesting a question (a pint for anyone who manages to ask about this on air)...emailing Andrew Pinder with a formal complaint
