> Either David Cameron is an abject moron or he (and his cronies) don't understand this whole internet thing.
That's awfully disingenuous, it may be neither -- PM Cameron and his cronies may in fact fully understand that their legislation will have little effect on child abuse. They may in fact be interested in establishing a police state, which implies that they're not morons and that they fully understand that the internet as a communications medium is far too open.
Or they're indeed morons that don't understand the internet, but they're being lead by the nose by their military/surveillance-industrial corporate masters. War efforts are winding down and they need another excuse to pour billions down a rabbit hole.
