UK Gov't Launches 'Your Freedom' Website To Seek Laws Worth Repealing

Firefalcon writes "The UK Government launched Thursday the 'Your Freedom' website, headed by the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, to 'identify laws that should be repealed.' In a recent tweet, Police State UK pointed out an article in the New Statesman which appeals for people to call on the Government to repeal the ill thought-out Digital Economy Act that was rushed through Parliament without sufficient scrutiny. While part of the Act is regarding the digital TV switchover, other sections allow for users to be restricted or disconnected from the Internet at the behest of copyright owners, which goes against the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' that has been in place since the Magna Carta."

This Is Good

[Bottles]

I am writing this from within the maximum security wing of the New British National Defence Forces detention island.

I was absolutely delighted to share all of my views about laws I felt needed repealing in the UK. My IP address was in no way used to trace my identity and when my new friends from the NBNDF came to talk to me I felt I was completely fulfilled by their probing and vigorous questions.

I have not been added to any lists of registered subversives.

My stay at the security wing has been fulfilling. I feel refreshed, invigorated and entirely supportive of the NBNDF. No electro-pain equipment was used upon me at all during this week.

Signed,
Mr Bottles.

On behalf of the government department concerned, I thank Mr Tottles for his cooperation.

Or they would have to pass a law to extend the number of laws permitted on the books.

You never said it had to be the politician's digit. A loophole is worth a thousand laws. :P

No, I honestly believe Nick Clegg or someone on his staff will read all comments and take them on board. Then *he* will get ignored by the people in power. The complete disregard for your petitions has moved up a level.
