French MP's In Backbone Shocker


In an unbelievable outbreak of libertarianism and sense from a portion of our EU enemies we learn that French MP's have today voted against a law which would have allowed law enforcement agencies to cut off the internet connections of file-sharers.

Jacqui "I'll pay for the Kleenex, darling" Smith will be cursing that the UK wasn't the first government in the world to try to set up an agency specifically to track down and punish file-sharers but with this French "Non" vote we've still got a chance to sneak in there as No1. We need to as we aren't keeping up with our monthly tractor production statistics when it comes to more insecure Big Brother databases and big IT contract fees.

The lower house of parliament in France passed this law last week but most members of the upper house have obviously taken a long Easter weekend and turnout was sparse. The vote was 21-15 against.

Just think...a database to spy on your file-sharing habits. It'd never catch on here, surely?

"If you lead a country like Britain, a strong country, a country which has taken a lead in world affairs in good times and in bad, a country that is always reliable, then you have to have a touch of iron about you."
