01 Jul 10 - 04:37 AM (#2937732) Subject: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: pavane This site has been set up by the government to ask what laws should be repealed or changed. I have posted a comment on the Licencing laws - hope I got the facts right! Her is my posting in case you want to add a comment. |

01 Jul 10 - 05:07 AM (#2937742) Subject: RE: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: IanC I've also put links to the site into the Licensing thread. |
01 Jul 10 - 05:15 AM (#2937744) Subject: RE: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: IanC My one's here. Comments appreciated. :-) |
01 Jul 10 - 06:12 AM (#2937767) Subject: RE: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: buddhuu Nice one, peeps. Supportive comments added to both. |
01 Jul 10 - 07:09 AM (#2937790) Subject: RE: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: pavane Why start a separate one? Two threads are better than one? Unlike Mudcat, they aren't cvross-referenced at all. |
01 Jul 10 - 07:12 AM (#2937793) Subject: RE: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: pavane Oops - sorry, yours is a few minutes earlier than mine. Sorry! |
01 Jul 10 - 07:19 AM (#2937799) Subject: RE: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: IanC Actually, Pavane, both yours and mine are useful as yours is in the Civil Rights section and mine is in the Repeal Unneccessary Laws section ... so GO! :-) |
01 Jul 10 - 10:54 AM (#2937908) Subject: RE: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: Leadfingers Popped MY Two Pennorth on both sites ! |
01 Jul 10 - 04:16 PM (#2938085) Subject: RE: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: Richard Bridge As I write that thread has been blocked because too many people were commenting. Conservatives and civil liberty are contradictions in terms. |
01 Jul 10 - 04:19 PM (#2938087) Subject: RE: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: Richard Bridge Both threads. |
01 Jul 10 - 07:32 PM (#2938194) Subject: RE: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: Tootler I think you are seeing conspiracy where there isn't, Richard. I have tried getting access to the site through various routes and have found the whole site is incredibly slow - even at 12.30 in the morning. I think the more likely explanation is the usual cock up - the servers are inadequate for the traffic. I shall try again later. |
01 Jul 10 - 07:35 PM (#2938196) Subject: RE: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: Leadfingers I got straight in just now - Not a lot after MY input though ! |
02 Jul 10 - 03:27 AM (#2938323) Subject: RE: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: Richard Bridge Yes, I am getting in now, but honestly there was a message that the threads had been closed because too many people wanted them! |
02 Jul 10 - 04:02 AM (#2938335) Subject: RE: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: IanC The site's now reasonably clear and you can log in and vote. They've got a couple of things wrong (e.g. the Highest Rated should only include things with over 10 or 20 votes as it's currently loaded with ideas having 1 or 2 votes, all 5s) but hopefully they'll sort that one out soon. Appears they were astounded by the level of interest. Please now go on and leave comments. :-) |
02 Jul 10 - 04:06 AM (#2938341) Subject: RE: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: IanC Oh ... and vote, please. |
02 Jul 10 - 04:58 AM (#2938366) Subject: RE: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: pavane I am not too impressed by the site, though, but I suppose it was done in a hurry. I cannot find how to assign existing tags, and even the list shown gives only the first few. I presume that the multiple copies of the same message were caused because of the site failures. I hope that it can be enhanced in due course. |
02 Jul 10 - 05:40 AM (#2938391) Subject: RE: Licencing laws - yourfreedom site From: buddhuu I have posted threads on Chiff & Fipple and Ukulele Underground forums with links to the gov pages mentioned here. Also spreading the word via Facebook. This has got to be worth a few minutes of anyone's time, innit? |
