This is the low ball. When there's public outcry they can fall back to their original position and the sheep will feel like they won. Maybe they'll even retreat a little and only put a few impossible to defend websites on the list. What matters is that they get the legislation passed that allows them to add new sites to the list. Then they'll slowly add more and more, not just porn. They'll use the threat of adding sites to the list to get them to preemptively cave to their policies. They'll probably come up with some gay british-ism to call the undesirable sites, like they did with "video nasties".

They've always been like this. That's why we thew their tea in the harbor.
