BNP and the European Election Results

Yes, yes, the election results were announced on Sunday and today is Tuesday... my weekend has been a little busy and tiring.

For those that don't know (/me peers around) the BNP got the last MEP seat in the Northwest region and also got a seat in Yorkshire and the Humber region. In the Northwest it is their party leader Nick Griffin who will be going claiming to represent me.

Digital Europe

In the past couple of days the EU Parliament has adopted a document on the internet, our rights and policing it. Handily, OUT-LAW has an article covering bits of it. "Handily" because the text itself is impenetrable; it's a collection of sentence fragments and legal phrases (I find mentally deleting the word "whereas" every time you see it makes the text infinitely more readable).
