You are all missing the point....
Everytime something like this happens in the UK the comments page explodes with technical solutions. How many fucking posters are spouting on about VPNs etc here, as if you now using a VPN is somehow the correct response to a massive loss of freedom. Its pitiful to see this, and also its stupid. Because soon VPNs will be illegal or require licenses, and then what?
You need to take action because you really are sliding down into a dark place. The scene is set now, the pieces are in place. All the UK needs is a charismatic right-wing cunt and you will be sorry you didn't protest when you could. Write to your MP and tell him or her you will be voting for whoever will repeal this law. El Reg - how about helping out?
