UK And EU May Make Unsolicited Email Illegal

An anonymous reader writes "According to this BBC article the UK and the EU are planning to making unsolicited email simply illegal. This doesn't do anything for prevention practically, but it does legally pave the way for measures that do. Lord Sainsbury of Turville admits it will do nothing to stop spam from outside the EU."

Re:UK and the EU?

[ReLik]

I'm British (well, English...) and I'm i live in London. NO `brit' (btw i find that term offensive) wants anything to do with the EU, we don't want their trade their languages their currency or their evilness. The EU is banning all gameshows which give out over 70,000, i.e Who wants to be a Millionnaire is going to have to change or be banned, THATS HOW stooopid the Europeans are. Britain is Britain, the political alliance of England, Scotland and Wales, we are our own union, we don't want European trash, and we're not in Europe, infact our land hasn't been `Europe' for 5,000-6,500 years. Europe is crazy, this is one of the things that prove it.
