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?

Wow that doesn't look shady at all.

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.

[–] Mondez@lemdro.id 1 points 9 hours ago

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

Why are people scared of reform getting in?

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.

Because they are a bunch of idiot racist grifters. And those are their good points.
