And who asked the people whether they wanted to live in "the safest place in the world to be online"? I have heard people say Singapore is the safest place in the world to live -- nice place to visit but I don't want to live there. Some say Riyadh is actually safer still -- not even a nice place to visit.

If Brits valued safety and security over freedom we wouldn't have gone to war against Hitler -- that was what he offered the German people. I know current voters are pretty stupid but blocking porn (or a couple of big porn database privacy breaches) will soon make even Tory voters realise there is a pretty obvious balance to be made between freedom and safety.
