Oh good, State control spreads its wings.

We very much enjoyed having your company MB.   It was the DZ wot done it.

To think such a thing could befall PC Pals.

I expect the UK will be next to filter us.    

[Rik]

Us, or the forum, Clive?

[Simon]

I wonder if there'll be a filter for Clive's jokes?

the way it reads it will block anything above a 10 year old mentality

Oh they would love to filter out all the over 60's.   It would save them a fortune in pension payments!

Government interference on parental responsibilities really gives me the sh*ts. If parents can't be responsible for what their children watch, then they shouldn't be parents. Same with discipline, it should be up to teachers to discipline kids, the kids should be disciplined at home and be well behaved enough to attend school. And if not, suspended from attending until they are.

For goodness sake, parents should either get the appropriate software or what ever it is you need, or have computer access supervised. No brainer really.

I told Michael when he was younger, that if he accessed anything that he shouldn't, he wouldn't have the computer.

Here's a good example of school policy, suspend the entire year.

Exclusive school suspends all of year 12.
