Frankly, I still smell a rat. Islamic terrorism is a problem, therefore everyone in the UK must use their real name when calling their MP a wanker on Twitter? Even if you acknowledge that the problem is real, the proposed solution does not follow.

No, it seems far better targeted at getting people to stop saying mean things about them on Twitter more than anything else.

It doesn't need to work for politicians to successfully "be seen to do something".

But I see your point.
