    Haha, right. First the bigwigs want a ban on security tools, now they want us to come up with a cunning plan to save their uneducated "but I really NEED incredimail!" asses. No! Get lost.

    £6m

    Hm. £6m to solve security problems. Remind me how much has been wasted on digitizing the Health Service so far...
