*Yawn*

Another cretin nobody in 'Government' with no idea what he's talking about trying to make a name for himself.

This asshat was never elected but is a sad relic of our House of Lords. The same house his party said they were going to get rid of due to them being an affront to democracy in that they are appointed, not voted for.

Not too much to see here, just some 63 year old insignificant made a member of the House of Lords for services to his party making some noise to pull some attention before his 64th birthday next week.

 I'll bet like all politicians, he's clueless about
technology.

Kind of reminds me of Ted "Tubes" Stevens (R) AK

Yep totally clueless. He is under the impression that every file that UK ISP users transfer can be compared with a database of music tracks. Theoretically possible but the costs would be immense.

This if it were to happen risks turning the UK into a Darknet and hiding those who are trading things somewhat more provocative than a few tunes.
