    Everyone’s scared of Reform getting in and yet Reform are the only ones promising to reverse all this. All this is done based off the back of a 2016 survey where parents said they were worried about kids watching porn on the internet, but the survey gave no indication of what a solution would look like and gave no mention to online age verification and banning VPNs.

      If I had a nickle for ever time the UK did something pants-on-head stupid or short-sighted from a minor survey or public poll, [counts change jar]… How much are big macs these days?

          Are you serious? It’s real and lead by the only two sane people left in British politics.

            Personally I do have to agree though, the website itself looks kinda scuffed.

      Unfortunately amongst the unwashed masses of the British public this bill isnt actually particularly unpopular.

        I don’t think it’s particularly popular either, no one seems to even really know about it.

        Racism, homophobia & sexism mostly, but I’m sure I’m missing a few.

        Then again the other mayor parties haven’t been saints on the matter, tldr don’t trust a politician.
