    > AgeID will log which pornography websites are visited and store them

    How is this relevant to age verification in any way? The UK government can't even lie straight about why they want to do this.

      UK politics, in terms of campaigning and image, is almost comically primitive. I don’t know that it’s a bad thing however, that the likes of Theresa May can’t effectively disguise their motives. In the US the whole process is so highly optimized for spin and money, that people spend all day smiling and saying nothing. In the UK they stumble around trying to lie, and failing terribly.

      The motives are the same, and maybe even the outcomes, but the quality of the theater is radically different.
