What is needed is a breath of fresh air through the Whitehall village, to have MPs with a knowledge of the outside world. This happened in the 19th Century , peacefully, with the reform acts when MPs stopped all being drawn from one class. At the present time we seem to be back there with many MPs reading PPE at university and never working say in industry.
This doesn't mesh well with running a country. They do need to be able to evaluate what advisors tell them and possibly cross check it, and to deliberately do a U turn when disaster looms.
Pressure groups too need to learn that you can't just wave a magic wand even if MPs don't know any better. The PM's idea of filtering at the search engine sounds better than just block it somehow, but having a search engine throw up a town in Argentina for my old nonsense password because it was only one letter different, I don't think they are precise enough ! Also as someone posted elsewhere " how do you make a filter which will protect my 8 year old daughter from porn, yet let her 17 year old sister do her biology homework ?
I think Punch was near the mark about 1900 - " go see what baby is doing and stop her ! " - i.e.people are better at it than than computers, bur maybe slower.
My own position is that I don't need a porn filter, as no small children about. I would STRONGLY object to a filter which slowed down my speed, well I might accept it with FFTP at the same price !
How do others stand ?
