I totally agree - the new power is a way of circumventing public backlash on a 3 strikes policy. In fact, in many ways I think this is far worse as it is unclear and gives too much power to one of the UK's most corrupt politicians.
My point was just that we should be careful when discussing the 'three strikes clause' as it technically doesn't exist.
I don't want to give Labour the ability to dismiss our arguments based on 'there is no 3 strikes clause'.

Hey - just curious, what widget do you mean? I haven't used blogger before so don't really know the ins + outs
PUNK!
I've been thinking exactly the same thing recently and, in fact, I was convinced to start up a blog with this very topic just last week.
I hate when people spam their own websites in comments though, so unless anyone specifically wants to see it, I'm not going to write the name or url.
In any case, total legend. I agree 100%.

I didn't think that three strikes made it into the Digital Economy Bill.
I thought there was only a power for Mandy to implement 'technical measures' at a later date if necessary.
