In my humble opinion it all looks just too useful as both a political platform and smoke screen. A lot of energy, time and commotion happen around something quite unimportant while other matters get by silently.

I've never been so ashamed to tell people I'm from the UK, the home of politics that bring us such things as blind eyes been turned to paedo rings on one hand, yet blanket censorship to protect children on the other. Face palm.
