Pelican reviewed

Sherlock agrees to attend debate with organiser of anti-’SOPA’ petition

That's after he initially refused to attend if Simon McGarr wasn't removed from the panel, accusing him of "causing some reputational damage to this country by deliberately misinterpreting the [new legislation] as SOPA" (which wasn't the case, and he knows it, but howandever). Shame I can't attend the debate this afternoon; seems like the hashtag is #DRF2012 so I can follow things on Twitter later. #link
