Its great to see an MP approach this area so sensibly, I just wish that more politicians were in touch with modern life. You don't have to be a gamer or internet junkie to 'get' these issues, you just need to approach them rationally and take them seriously. Tom Watson is one of the few politicians to do this. I really hope his attitude spreads to the rest of the government. The UK has a fantastic games industry with a great pedigree and it would be terrible to weaken it through poor regulation and law making.
