While Cameron & co. have, generally, a reasonable set of policies, they are nonetheless two-faced scumbuckets, at least when it comes to the creative industry. I recently wrote to my local Conservative MP with regards to the Digital Economy Bill.
Mr. Mallins mentions that although the Conservatives are willing to implement technical measures to against the most extreme offenders (as to how they’ll gauge that, I don’t know), they would only use it as a last resort. I am then assured that this colleague, Jeremy Hunt (Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport), who is the MP for West Surrey, is following the bill closely and will continue to press the Government for a proper debate and full scrutiny of the proposals.
So what does Hunt do? He is in favour for the DEB and votes it in. He is one of the four Conservatives to do so.
