Good stuff. Post his response here, Mike. If he responds. It's a great facility this FaxYourMP, isn't it? The missives look so pretty when they're all set up in letter form. "Ignore this, you bum" they seem to be saying, but in a courteous way.

One minor point you've got wrong - I think that while the Giant TVs in the pubs (for the hordes of stay-at-home hooligans to congregate in front of for worship and possible mayhem) are indeed going to be totally exempt, the idea at present is that Juke Boxes will actually have to have a licence.

Which in principle is helpful - I can imagine a scenario in which enraged Bikers could join up with Morris Dancers and advance on the House of Commons in a pincers movement.
