They are currently the most popular party by far. Obviously things can change, but do you seriously think people are going to come back in droves to the Conservative or Labour Parties?

Your constant jibes are making me think you have a crush on me, Hugh. Do you give your partner as much attention? I’m really flattered.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
Ofcom fines website £1.35m for not having age checks for adult content:

Also, the UK government yesterday announced a ban on 'incest simulation' in porn.

I don’t know where that came from, but could you put it back wherever it manifested from, lock it in an airtight box, strap the box down with 1/2" chains attached to a concrete base, and then take off and nuke the entire site from orbit - it’s the only way to be sure.
You need serious help - have you spoken to your partner about these fantasies you have?

Very true have to look as if they are doing something. Yet another waste of money.

Complete waste of time, they will not pay the fine as Ofcom cannot enforce it on a company outside of the UK. Think of all the tax payers money wasted on investigating this and then have no return for all that effort. Ofcom are very quick to say who they have issued fines to, however they will not say who have actually paid them verses who has not.

We suspect the likelihood of Ofcom ever seeing the money from this fine is low, and the most likely outcome will be that the bevy of sites that 8579 LLC operate will end up being blocked from UK IP address blocks. The question is whether the firm will bother or if Ofcom has to get UK providers to block the sites.
|
The reality is that even if the government blocked the IP's for these sites anyone who still wants to visit them will just circumnavigate the issue via a VPN

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
If you check on ofcoms site, they handily list the actual websites (and ofcom isnt age protected  ).
Some of the sites that were run by 8579 LLC have now been transferred to other companies.
Aside from just blocking the UK, these sites can just move companies, leaving the one "fined" as defunct.
Just another example of how utterly clueless the people who dreamed this up are. 
None of these sites are likely to be "accidently" viewed (by anyone), you have to go looking for them.
Imagine the ofcom job description ;
"You will be required to spend all day searching the internet for porn sites, and viewing them, to determine if they have age checks".
