God damn it Denny. Stop agreeing with the rest of us.

I for one have changed my mind and think we should have voter ID. It's the only way I can continue my proud run of disagreeing with Denster on everything to do with politics.

I for one welcome the new lefty snowflake Denster. Welcome to the party, we have safe spaces.

Has anybody told Denster that he is now officially a feminist and he is no longer allowed to refer to mammary glands as "Wally John Blacks"?

There will be a card with his welcome pack explaining it all, including a pack of quinoa and a guide to being a LBGT aware vegan.

That headline.

Does she think she is Al Gore?

And this is what people are going to be voting for in their masses.

A deluded giraffe lady who thinks she can create a new internet. Great.

I just read that fully.

She's absolutely out of her mind if she thinks that will work. Even if somehow it did work, do we really want to be China?

"It should be as unacceptable to bully online as it is in the playground, as difficult to groom a young child on the internet as it is in a community, as hard for children to access violent and degrading pornography online as it is in the high street, and as difficult to commit a crime digitally as it is physically."

The goal behind this is laudable:

"It should be as unacceptable to bully online as it is in the playground, as difficult to groom a young child on the internet as it is in a community, as hard for children to access violent and degrading pornography online as it is in the high street, and as difficult to commit a crime digitally as it is physically."

But the stated methods of moving closer to this show a fundamental misunderstanding of the Internet and its benefits. I'm not a fan.

The government now appears to be launching a similarly radical change in the way that social networks and internet companies work. While much of the internet is currently controlled by private businesses like Google and Facebook, Theresa May intends to allow government to decide what is and isn't published, the manifesto suggests.

The new rules would include laws that make it harder than ever to access pornographic and other websites. The government will be able to place restrictions on seeing adult content and any exceptions would have to be justified to ministers, the manifesto suggests.

The Conservatives will also seek to regulate the kind of news that is posted online and how companies are paid for it. If elected, Theresa May will "take steps to protect the reliability and objectivity of information that is essential to our democracy" – and crack down on Facebook and Google to ensure that news companies get enough advertising money.
