I find it very difficult to believe that they would say that nobody in the UK is allowed to look at porn or gambling online. Even in they could get that past the european court of human rights, what would be in it for them to do so?

There are a lot of prudes in the UK, partilularly amoung older people (who are more likely to vote) and Tory supporters (and Cameron needs to give something to his critics in his own party right now, as his position is weak).

I still think that is far fetched, if Cameron & co actually did that, I think Labour could make their next campaign slogal "We will bring back the porn" and win by a landslide.
