I see Jacqui Smith and her cronies have come up with another harebrained idea. "Let's ban paedophiles from internet chatrooms." That's a bit like saying, lets ban car thieves from driving, or shoplifters from entering shops. A total waste of time, coz the offenders take no notice.
How exactly do they plan to enforce these bans? It's not exactly difficult to obtain an e-mail account nowadays.
This is another bit of Nu Labour spin. Yes it will be an offence for registered sex offenders to enter chatrooms, but, one that there is no way of preventing. When the lowlife are finally caught, for a far worse offence, this may be an additional charge to add to the file.
In the meantime, it's got bugger all to do with protecting children!

Instead of wasting time with this they should concentrate on banning handguns, er um.....
Do bear in mind that NuLabour was responsible for one of the largest security beaches ever (the loss of the child benefit database) and the NHS IT disaster £14B and counting up.
So “initiatives” like this are simply red top fodder.
