This has been going the rounds but I got it from @keithbelfast. It’s a letter from The Right Honourable Stephen Timms, MP, one of the masterminds behind the Digital Economy Bill.
Some select quotes about Stephen Timms from his biographical entry on Wikipedia:
Timms is currently the Financial Secretary to the Treasury.
He is also the Vice-Chair of the Labour Party, with particular responsibility for faith groups.
Timms worked in the telecommunications industry for 15 years; he was the manager responsible for producing reports on the future of telecommunications.
In August 2009, he was given additional responsibility for “Digital Britain”
Which of course, makes all of this even more tragic.
