| blocking for copyright infringement. This

| Control Orders remain a cruel act of
| degradation of people who have never been
| convicted of anything, utterly incompatible
| with human rights. Parliament will today
| vote to renew them again - expect the
| parties to compete in their gravitas as they
| underline the threat to our very existence
| and way of life (sic) from terrorism.

| deleted immediately, and strict controls
| must be put in place before the law can come
| into force again.
