You have the right to be informed: Write to UK.gov, save El Reg

If it was important, why didn't you say sooner?

You know what? You could have said before. It's not like legislation proposals aren't published in advance. You'd kinda think it's a thing that media people would be on the case about.. The Guardian and FT (Twitter feeders; often parasitic on The Reg et al) have just announced a joint venture to resist the same thing. They even invited me to participate in the discussion. But only via Twitter. To which I say "No thanks.", because I prefer not to engage in that sort of activity. So my only option is to gripe via the least lazy news provider.

Man, I remember going for a job at a news agency in the mid 70s and being ridiculed by a guy in a worse suit than my dad's because I didn't know the best cycle route from Farringdon to Islington. Journalists then might well have been scumbags, but at least they got out of the house.

Why is the iPlayer a multi million pound disaster?

Me too.

I'd rather read articles which didn't draw comparisons with "a special needs six-year-old who still wears nappies".

Me too.
