You’re now viewing a state-mandated subset of the internet. How do you
feel about that?

As of December 31 last, all UK ISPs dutifully responded to Home Office
minister Vernon Coaker’s request to ‘voluntarily’ sign up for the
Cleanfeed system.

Thus, as in China, the British have sheepishly agreed to have their
Internet content, filtered, censored and where the Internet Watch
Foundation (IWF) or the Home Office decide blocked. This despite there
being no legislation to support the Cleanfeed system.

British Telecom developed Cleanfeed. A list of IP addresses is drawn
up by the ‘industry watchdog’, the Internet Watch Foundation, supplied
to the Home Office which then augments it, and then handed to ISPs
with the order to block traffic to and from those addresses.

As the Legalize Cannabis Alliance points out, no one except the Home
Office knows what’s on that final list. We were originally led to
believe that it would be purely a list of child pornography sites. It
has now expanded. No one outside government knows what is on it, not
even the ISPs. They block; they don’t look.

The Legalize Cannabis Alliance published an attack on the UK Cleanfeed
action on Tuesday, 22 January 2008 under the title ‘Internet
Censorship in the UK’. Like this web site, the LCA has also suffered
Google censorship.


Here are some highlights from the LCA article.

You’re now viewing a state-mandated subset of the internet. How do you
feel about that?

Like to vote against it? You can’t.

Like your MP to sit on a committee to oversee implementation? He
can’t.

Like to know if the Google results you’re seeing are a full
representation of Google’s actual results? You can’t.

Censorship at this level - above even ISPs, is all but invisible to
the end user. It’s a secret that they’re keeping these secrets from
you, (and me).

Now, this isn’t China you might say, we trust our government to only
censor material that needs censoring. Sure?

This is the same government that has leaned on ISPs inside the UK, and
outside, not with the intention of blocking illegal or obscene
material, but simply sites that irritated, embarrassed, or offended
the government.

Not using legal methods either - a court order, say - but bullying and
threats.

And this is the same government that was only beaten by one vote in
the House of Lords, on their 2006 proposal to force UK ISPs to drop
sites on the say-so of a single police officer.

This is, remember, that same government that’s constantly telling us,
with regard to ID cards, that if you have nothing to hide, you have
nothing to fear. Why then, do they hide this list?

Editor. And don’t forget that this government is about to introduce
the criminalization of extreme porn (including spanking!). Watch the
dawn raids with TV crews filming when that happens.

The subject line made me giggle: New Labour - Marxist? I haven't laughed
so much since I don't know when.

Nervous?

Marxists aren't known for a sense of humour, so why were you laughing?

ago.

potential for political abuse on the China model, that site's tone is also
worrying. At inquisition21.com, they mainly seem to be worried about
the prosecution of paedos. So I hope the fuckers there burn in hell.

The Lord Bishop of Carlisle, The Rt Rev Graham Dow, said this week that
the current UK government was a Revelation 13 government, and not a

Without asking you heathens to read the Scripture yourself (if you want
to, try http://www.biblegateway.com), the Revelations passage says that
the Government is run by Demons. Perceptive chap, +Graham. makes
Marxism seem quite tame :-)
