Heaven forbid that anyone should dare to question government policies!

I still don't get the logic here. No other JISCmail list owners felt the
need to prevent discussion of government policy, so why should this be
different just because it has co-owners from a government agency. The Becta
folk didn't have to say anything.
(I wonder if all government employees were forbidden from contributing to
discussion lists during the election period)
I trust there will be rationalisation with the VLE-interest list that was
created to fill the gap.
