Byron's son still has friends thanks to mum's report

Another, and hopefully the last, interview with Tanya Byron, author of last week's Byron Report, this one courtesy of MCV. Apparently Byron's son is more thankful than most that she didn't lay some kind of evil smackdown on videogaming as a whole.

"My son, when I was given this job last year, said to me: 'Mummy, please do not ban videogames because I will have no friends.’ He literally said on the morning the Review was published: 'Thanks mum. Phew!'"

Please let that be it. Please.
