If it hadn't been for the tireless and unceasing efforts of people like Jimmy Savile and Stuart Hall this bill wouldn't stand a chance of getting through. The government must be so grateful.

What I don't get is the general sneak things in the back door plan they seem to be adopting.Originally posted by Zippy View Post
I can see the point of many of the things they wish to ban, I can see that they have the best equipment in the world as they attempt to do it (thanks China) but the idea of not providing a complete list of things to be filtered strikes me as I rather self defeating plan.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

I thought Savile's alleged abuses were all in real world and had nothing to do with the Net?Originally posted by Zippy View PostComment

So what? It's not as if this unelected government is seeking legitimate justifications for its actions. As long as it can rouse a rabble, it's happy.Originally posted by AtW View PostComment

Well, if only a state sponsored religion was allowed, surely all the others would be banned, which was what I understood you to be saying? Which probably would be alright unless it was the jehovahs witnesses running everything.Originally posted by mos View Post
The thing with adolf is his down to his idea about a worldwide jewish conspiracy. That and i wanted to use the dancing nazi smiley.

It may be worth reading the background to the panic:-

turns out the broadness of the options are based on what orange and co currently do with mobile data.
The topics listed as banned is what EE restrict you from see if you don't ask them to remove the adult content filter. Didn't someone say they couldn't see Cuk without getting the filter removed?
I.e. its not the government being awkward here rather companies being "helpful"merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Well, the UK and most other European countries already have higher tax rates than China; people have allowed their governments the right to claim 50+ % of what you earn and own, so why wouldn't they let the government claim 50% of what you think?Originally posted by darmstadt View Post
It's always for nice cuddly reasons that freedom is eroded. Big Brother will keep you safe from terrorists, child molesters, porn merchants, poverty and mind bending drugs. People just keep on swallowing it; tax rises are just fine as long as they're for somebody else (the rich, the big corporations, the bankers). Banning porn is great as long as it stops those dirty little men tossing themselves off at pictures of women who've consented to be photographed, but we can't let 'celebrities' have any kind of privacy when they visit the beach on holiday because of the freedom of the press. The state will protect you against poverty if you pay your contributions, but make a little mistake in your tax form and the state will make you poor. You choose to smoke the wrong plant, eat the wrong mushrooms or inject a naughty chemical and you'll be in big trouble; in fact, you'll probably recieve your sentence from someone who gets tanked up on ethanol every weekend.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?
