Welcome to Soviet Britain 2013

Hooray, it's been announced recently that we're all going to  be saved from digitally transmitted boobs and bums and cocks by the enlightened UK government! Most recent news mentioned that websites containing information on violence, suicide and alcohol might also be blocked automatically. So we can all be calm, alive, healthy and vote for the caring UK government who saves us from ourselves!

The government loves you and does not want you, voters, to drown in filth of internet pornography. Never mind that pornography as such is legal, porn mags are available in every supermarket and adults living in a supposedly democratic country are free to drown in whatever filth they wish.

The government care and does not want you, underage future voters, to learn dirty adult things too quickly and ruin your innocence.  Never mind that the 'forbidden fruit' phenomenon is well recognised by psychologists, that there's far worse things readily available online than scenes of sexual nature and that it's parents' duty to put boundaries on children' access to digital media.

The government needs you to stay focused and clear minded, not busy slobbering over unrealistic displays of disgusting digital trickery. Never mind that censorship is universally considered a breach of freedom of speech, restrictions will expand until they suffocate all but the pre-approved content and such government controlled media can only end in happy, happy, we're all so happy propaganda.

Ironically, I just tried to access a BBC page with an article about porn censorship and was greeted with: We're sorry but this site is not accessible from the UK.


It has began!
