'Family filter', what a crock of shit, similar to the crock of shit verdict that GCHQ's use of PRISM was deemed legal (by whom exactly?). We know you want to spy on us, don't use the bleeding hearts at mum's net to get your agenda passed.


Exactly. I thought we'd had the intelligent debates about censorship and the Internet over ten years ago!

Same old crap, wrapped in some slightly different packaging.

You could call a referendum on this one and get it through, just by asking a thinly veiled question like: 'Do you think our children should be protected from pornography?'. Just flash a picture of Jimmy Saville visiting a hospital while you ask it.

I feel this country is getting less and less progressive at every turn and u-turn.

Some furore over some phone hacking - remember that? Remember that eavesdropping is a bad, bad thing? Then a few months later, happily talk about eavesdropping/filtering the nation. Sickens me, even more than Mandy's mutterings.

Boxed into a corner - will be wiping ballot paper on arse at next election.


Exactly what I was thinking. This is just a "hook" for them to find their way "in".
