We have been caught out by them (the Gov) ,and not a single snip on the news!!!
To be fair to the Beeb there was a discussion on it between a Govt bod and Shami Chakrabati (or however you spell her name) from the civil liberties mob on Today. I don't tend to pay much attention to other broadcast news, so it's possible that was the only coverage. Sorry for the off topicness, we no return you to your scheduled programming.
