Be safe

In the world of be-careful-what-you-wish-for, the closing of the so-called iPlayer loophole may be another chance for Whittingdale, J to bring i his free-market thinking to bear on wussy old Auntie.

As we've said before here, loophole closing is a tricky business, unless you're prepared to give some bank details and/or proof of purchase of a tv licence.

Meanwhile Mr Whittingdale has been learning about online safety, and perhaps how to distinguish between Russian arms dealers, dominatrices and others pretending to be something they are not on match.com.
