The Open Rights Group reports today that 10,000 people have written to their MP (presumably stats from the 38 degrees website), but the corporate lobbyists are still pushing to get this through. http://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/2010/10000-letters-sent-to-mps-to-demand-disconnection-debate It's going to be very difficult for MPs to ignore the level of support that the campaign has raised. Hopefully the demonstration next week in London will also be a spectacular display of support. Incidentally, if anyone would like to attend the demonstration next week (Wednesday, 5:30pm, Westminster) then I'll be driving up and I still have a free seat in my car. -- Dan Wentworth http://www.phoenixdev.co.uk/ -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Wed 2010-04-07 20:00 http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2645413 Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.org&channel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset
