I emailed both Labour & Tory parties back when I first discovered
the EUCD (March/April, perhaps). Labour never replied, and the
reply from "WilliamHaguesOffice" indicated that I wouldn't get
much sympathy either from Her Majesty's Government or from
Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. It was running up to election time
too. Perhaps the LibDems would have a more sympathetic ear.

Currently hunting for that "Consumers Call The Tune" document.
Bloody awful web site. It's telling that a graphic used to
illustrate a page about the internet shows 2 buttons, obviously
from some company's web page: "Purchase" and "Add To Cart".
Clearly the cultural aspects of the internet are lost on these
people ...
