The British Interplanetary Society did something similar a few years back: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Boreas
The filters are voluntary OPT OUT for the end user*.

I know it seems insignificant, but it makes a big difference.

Also, I am right in thinking, this hasn't been proposed as a bill yet to the house of commons/lords? I feel as Cameron has a long history of broken promises.

Oh yes, the regulation was rushed in by people not really sure what to do or what was happening.

Why it couldn't be a browser option, I have no idea.

Yes, my family and myself had our passports stolen in Tenerife (now known as Tenergrief in my family, wasn't the best of holidays) and we flew back to the UK on a police report (which was in Spanish).

The UK customs officer said we shouldn't have really flown back on that, but he let us in regardless. Not even an interview in a room.

I highly doubt they will, there's too much to lose. They're just bluffing hot air to win over support from UKIP/BNP voters.
