I live in the Warrington North constituency (since the boundary changes). A quick look at YourNextMP shows I have 4 candidates to choose from (this will be confirmed once nominations have closed):

• Derek Clark - UKIP (until very recentl YNMP was suggesting Jack Kirkham) [UPDATE: No UKIP Candidate listed on the formal Warrington North List]
• Paul Campbell - Conservatives

Last night The Open Rights Group hosted an event called Resisting The All Seeing Eye with Cory Doctorow and Charlie Stross. I couldn't go because it was in London and train and accommodation fees would cripple me and leave nothing to donate to ORG. It did mean I got to go see Mark Thomas at the Parr Hall and have my policy suggestion of "force events to happen OUTSIDE London" read out and summarily dismissed as the gig was outside London.

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).

Below is attached the final text version of the letter sent to Helen Southworth and passed onto the Digital Britain Team. I believe it is not listed in the responses to the report but believe this is because they considered it private correspondence rather than because they are hiding it (the letter did have my name and address on it originally so I've snipped that from this copy). The bit in italics was a footnote in the original.

So, I finished the response to the Digital Rights Agency Report mentioned in my earlier post (interesting has a very high (for this site) viewing figures very quickly). So that it's available in an accessible form as possible I have reproduced it below and attached the final version in ODF.

I hope it goes without saying that this is released under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License as is all content posted to this site. I'm going to try and do all such comments in a similar format (rather than the letter) and am also trying to put together some form of bio I can attach so that'll be going up soon too.
