ABOUT THE INJUSTICE ALLIANCE
The Injustice Alliance is a group dedicated to unearthing perverse decision making, and making corrupt officials accountable for their actions. This includes law enforcement officials who are either on the payroll or for other reasons fail to investigate crime.

For some reason, the British Parliament have allowed a monopoly situation to become unassailable. When competition should be encouraged to give customers a genuine choice. There is no choice at the moment as to whose cables and network you want. It is Hobson's Choice.
