The following email has come into my possession, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Dcoetzee/NPG_legal_threat I have contacted the culture secretary, shadow culture secretary, and a number of organisations within the UK for comment. I would appreciate a statement of the NPR's position on this, and if they consider the current legislation that makes such threats possible appropriate in the modern world. Regards, Brian McNeil Wikinews.
