Further evidence of Number 10 finding a hard-headed campaigning zeal reaches this blog, in the form of a campaigning website called Protecting Our Children. It includes a petition ‘to support David Cameron’s call for ISPs to introduce Family Friendly Filters as soon as possible’, and facts about internet safety and what it is that the ‘the Prime Minister and ISPs have worked together to ensure’.
If you can hear a faint sound of bells ringing as you browse this site, that’s because it is a carbon copy of the LetBritainDecide website. Tory MPs, including those who don’t always put their hand up to support the Prime Minister, are tweeting away about his ‘bold’ move and directing followers to the site. Its role isn’t just to collect data for the Conservative party (more on this from Sebastian here) but to make the policy, which the Culture, Media and Sport department has been working on for months, all about the power of the Prime Minister to protect our children, itself a very emotive phrase.
