One of my readers has just sent me the following email.
“On Thursday MPs will vote to hide details of their expenses[1].MySociety are very much against this move[2][3] and want people tohelp them get the word out. I think the easiest way is for people tojoin the facebook group[4] (assuming you agree, of course). I'm noton facebook but have just written to my MP (Stephen Ladyman) to askhim to vote against the order.Anyway, that's all for now.Cheers,Chris”
I have to admit to not having heard about this one, but on the face of it, it doesn’t sound good, below the links he sent.
