Are you surprised? The government never changes. This thing we call democracy? It's an illusion. Both parties are exactly the same as each other, but they're presented to voters to make us think we have a choice. We don't.

Lets just say my tastes are rather "specific".
Probably wouldn't fill a blu ray...

LOL Brilliant, and the alter pops up should there be a raid and everyone pulls out prayerbooks.
Can't really put it any other way lol

"The new measures will mean that in future anyone buying a new computer or signing up with a new internet service provider (ISP) will be asked, when they log on for the first time, whether they have children."
How is that going to work then - do they assume that all users access the net through ISP portals or something? Or that all users use ISPs DNS servers.....?
Not very well thought out methinks.

Seriously, with all the problems the governments got they think trying to govern our porn is a good use of it's resources.

No. It will be like when you buy a TV and you get harrased by the tv licensing bunch. Retailers/ISPs will be obliged to pass your details on and if you don't comply with the new requirements you'll be prosecuted.
If parents are so worried about their children watching porn there are ample solutions available to them. If the government wish to help parent with advice then fine. Any thing else is unwarranted interference.
I fear you maybe correctly. However it's a brave person who protests in favor of porn for kids and the government know it.

That's the point. It will be made a law.
David Cameron should get a grip of his Government and this country, and stop with the empty feel good policy intended for daily mail readers.
The next GE should be a howler. So much for the fabled Tory majority everyone has now shut up about, this is no Conservative resurgance. It's a belly flop.

It would be a protest against state monitoring. They're just assuming people are stupid and won't notice.
Devil's in the details, tho.
Is it a law to compel the ISP to offer the filter for download?
Will it make uninstalling the software an offense?
Will the software be required to make a connection to the ISP?
Probably some 'agent' software that only allows your machines Internet access if certain processes are detected.
