As a Yorkshire-man I have contacted the South Yorks based company and alerted them to the issue. I don't see why they should risk being tar'd with the same brush!

Dunno if there's anything they can do, but they might want to add a note to their website...

Well, I contacted my MP again following the release of the excellent legal analysis document. I enquired if she would consider signing Early Day Motion (EDM) 1311.

Now what I was not aware of, was that EDMs are used by backbench MPs to put pressure on the Government, and I was also ignorant of my Labour MP's role in this governemnt as a Parliamentary Private Secretary to one of the Cabinet.

So she is considered a member of the Government and as such it would be inappropriate for her to sign the EDM.

That said, she does put this in writing:

"I fully support the sentiment of EDM 1311 and share your concerns over the Phorm [Webwise] system."

She is awaiting a reply from DfBERR (since 10th April), in common with several people then (including the Earl of Northesk - they are very late replying now aren't they?)

More to follow then...

As a BT customer for my internet connection, should I not be able to request my local Police force carry out an investigation into whether or not I was the subject of a crime by BT in 2006 or 2007?

I don't have any evidence, save for the fact that BT said they did do it, so although I do not have any evidence myself, surely the fact that they admit they did it is enough to suggest the police should interview someone from BT about it?

Comments anyone?
