If I understand it properly, and I'm not a lawyer, that law would apply anywhere in the world. Could you imagine the broohaha that would occur if the UK Parliament created a law with the same scope to impinge on the US?James Burdetthttps://www.jamesburdett.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787283052819380346.post-12240092851530726542009-05-05T20:29:00.000+01:002009-05-05T20:29:00.000+01:00That is pretty frightening to be honest.

Just because we on the Right want to be able to criticise our governments freely, and more particularly because we happen to find blogging easy, the centrally-controlled, joyless, inarticulate parties of the Left are desperate to gag us.<br /><br />Guido would fall foul of that law for doing nothing more than exposing lies and teasing Brown about his terminal unpopularity.
