As others have said I find this type of thing rather offensive, but if Mr. Cameron thinks he can successfully censor all the porn I wish him luck in his endeavour.

I'm pretty certain that this won't go through for as long as we're in the EU - having to sign up to a sex register for unrestricted access to the internet isn't exactly the sort of thing they go for.
Whilst they have been rather good about appearing outraged about matters such as the US spying on us I wouldn't be so sure that they would stop this kind of thing considering they spend millions of pounds setting up groups to trawl the internet looking for anti EU content. And they do love state interference in every facet life, so I again I wouldn't put it past them supporting this.

But surely the social liberals won't stand for this. Personal freedom is one of their bullet points.Hell its the whole embodiment of the social liberal ideology. And I cant really imagine labour helping out the conservatives on this either, so how are they going to get it through parliament
Can someone that follows british politics better than me please explain this?
The only reason Labour wouldn't support this is because the Tories suggested it, but the leader of the Labour party is currently one of the weakest politicians this country has ever seen and well I imagine he may very well support to make it look like he is one of the good guys. I do find it amusing how a lot of the people on this site think that the Labour party wouldn't be supportive of such measures considering state interference and state control are two of their core tenets. Also the Tories won't need Labour if their whipping boys in the Lib Dems (who are in coalition with them) decided to do what Cameron tells them to do.

Wait, this guy is conservative? Aren't conservatives supposed to be against empowering the government more than it already is?
Regardless, I have a feeling Google DNS is going to become very popular in the UK very quickly.
No he isn't a conservative. That is the name of his party - it isn't his political position, which coincidentally is why he is currently haemorrhaging support to UKIP.

Didn't the UK suffer BOMBING RUNS from fascists like Cameron?
You'd think, after killing enough Nazis, that they'd have been wiped out.
But, I guess Cameron and his ilk show that Nazis are like cancer.
Just when you think you've beaten it...it comes back.
Why is he a Nazi? Surely Communist would be a better fit considering that their use of censorship was and is much more widespread than the Nazi party (who only briefly existed in Germany and a few other states for a very short period of time). The communists are still doing it today after all and even in the UK their are groups like Antifa who are extremely supportive of such measures.
