Just when David Cameron and his government couldn't disgust me anymore...going on a rampage killing badgers in spite of experts telling them not to, destroying the NHS and welfare state, wanting to go to war in Syria...! Now they are CENSORING the internet.

The initiative was to block pornographic websites with the alleged intent of protecting children, but in addition to that they are going to block 'esoteric' websites and web forums...which would include anything related to alternative spirituality and you can bet that sites like THIS will be included. I'm incensed....why on earth would they want to block sites based on meditation, alternative healing, etc?? The mainstream media has reported on the plans to block pornographic and violent websites, but it's only alternative news sites that have pointed out their plans to include esoteric websites in the filter.

Cameron has condemned China for their web censorship but does the very same thing. Fair enough, people can act to opt out of the filter, but this is based on the principle that most people won't bother and will stick with the default, which will automatically be placed on all ISP servers. Therefore we are being nudged into censorship. Incidentally, if you were to try to access spiritual websites on some networks, such as the Orange mobile network, you will already find spiritual websites are blocked!! Very disturbing.

Please take a moment to sign these petitions.
