So now the totally out of date Levi has proposed that an additional clause be added to article 7 of the " gagging law" [ which would require all blog writers to register with the authorities and to pay a tax on their activity] stating that blogs which operate for "private" and not "collective" use would be exempt from this regulation. But blogging is by definition a collective activity! What's the point of bloody well writing one if it is not going to be read and commented upon? - Might as well keep a nice, secret diary, like the Victorians. "When you are in a hole", I would like to say to signor Levi, "stop digging": ie., admit it's an ill-conceived, ridiculous law in its entirety, scrap it and start again!

I wouldn't be surprised if they do scrap it but hopefully they don't start again!
You've got a point there, jmb!
I wonder how they would define "collective". I hope this legislation is kicked into touch.
Hi, jams. I wonder that, too. Even today's amendment doesn't say what they said it would!
