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.
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.
