As Judge Harvey put it, it'll be only the old page pensioners and the dole queue.

The attitudes of these three don't inspire much confidence. I wonder, though, why they're so focussed on the impossible—rolling back freedom and censoring the Internet—and not working on practical solutions instead. For example, if jurors accessing the Internet is a problem, why not sequester jurors as they do in other countries? Expensive, but actually possible, unlike their weird solutions.
