They are attempting to enforce a new piece of legislation that will make ISPs create an opt in option to watch porn. The is done in the guise of the protecting children, but in reality, it's simply a way of David Cameron imposing his personal views on the population and a way of the government trying to tell us what sites are good to go on and what are bad.

"Porn is bad and is destroying our children" - seriously, that's what they're going with, as well as trying to stop paedophilia online (yeah, because that's totally going to work).

And you guys in the US thought attempts to restrict your Internet freedoms were bad!

funny how english conservative politicians then also think that they can lecture the rest of Europe how democracy works

I think a lot of people stopped listening to UK politicians a long time ago. Gone is the age when our politicians actually stood for something and came from a background that gave them an underpinning on the reality of what the average person actually lives in.

Now it's people graduating from elite colleges, becoming a special advisor for a parliamentarian or a local councillor and just climbing the greasy ladder.

Very few of them are connected to reality.
