Re: Nobody can sensibly deny that this is a moral imperative
"Moral Imperative" = "of highest importance"
Nobody can deny that preventing child (or indeed, any) sex abuse is a moral imperative.
Nobody can deny that allowing people to communicate privately is a moral imperative.
Home Secs job, like that of many politicians, is to balance dozens of moral imperatives against each other. That's why it's a hard job, and not one that should be assigned to fuckwits.
Incidentally, also...
Nobody can deny that children having a roof over their heads is a moral imperative
Nobody can deny that children having enough to eat is a moral imperative
etc
See if the current government gives a flying f**k about any of that
