Andy Burnham to save World (wide web) from Cyber-rons

Suggests the impossible. Suggests the impractical. Suggests the unaffordable.
Protect the kids!!! Then, ‘protect me and my Government!”.
A lot of kite-flying going on (which involves a lot of string pulling).
Pops up for a quick interview, gets column inches, then flies off back to the censor-ship.

Can’t wait to see him cringe when he discovers The Sun’s Page 3 and some of its slideshows have to be censored as well as The Daily Mail’s topless photos of Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse.

  1. I think you will find this is Andy R Slicker doing the EU’s bidding like a good little Zanu Labour clone. The EU want to control internet sites, as punishment, and as they believe it was the web wot lost them the Irish vote. Even though democracy will cease to be an important force after the Lisbon deal is forced through, our EU masters dislike criticism in any form, so they will find ways to close web based criticism down. All that stuff about protecting kids is bollocks; they teach kids IT at schools, and as in China, even tweenies can get around web censorship. But like ID cards are not about terrorism but about controlling people, the fact that this law would not protect a single kid doesn’t matter…. it’s not intended to.
