Dear Mr C.A. Moron, Hate Mail, and others of similar ilk who seek to prevent adults from deciding what they can think: increasing censorship of pornography (which itself is is something of variable definition) *increases* real life sex crimes, not the other way round.

This has been repeatedly proved around the world. Thinking that removing porn from the internet (a physical impossibility anyway) will reduce rape or child abuse is like thinking that banning nicotine patches will reduce smoking, or that banning haircuts will reduce instances of having long hair...

Here's a clever plan - how about we do something that actually works correctly? Rather than the *exact fucking opposite* (see also C.A.Moron and Gormless George's growth-killing austerity programme.)

And don't even get me started on what the "porn blocks" will really block.... (Clue- the current mobile blocking apps the government wants also block access to sexual health sites, left-leaning newspapers, and so on...)

Important point - banning search terms from returning results will pretty much just prevent users from seeing news reports and debate about the subject...

Music Monday- Hallelujah. This is definitely one of my favourite songs ever - definitely in my top ten, I don’t even mind what they do with it in Watchmen - though there’s a weird echo on this version.

I'm really neither royalist nor republican, but does anybody else just not understand the coverage of this baby thing? I mean, Kate's had a baby boy, that's it, that's all there is, how can it take hours to say five fucking words? Is it just me?
