Note for those in London: Mary Honeyball (Lab/PSE), on the IMRE committee which votes on Monday, is on the record in support of the motion tabled by MEPs in April which condemned the "3 strikes" plan. For full text see Explanations of votes on A6-0063/2008 (http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=CRE&reference=20080410&secondRef=ITEM-012&language=EN&ring=A6-2008-0063#4-219).
I wrote to her anyway, emphasising that this is an incredibly disproportionate response which can be taken with no regard for due process, and mentioning briefly the privacy concerns and the complete absence of public support.
I'm going to wait and see how the vote goes tomorrow before writing to my other MEPs. I'll also write to Kamall and have a bit of a moan, but not tonight.
