I can't say I'm surprised.  The ham-handed way that Jimbo started the
"cleanup", and the resulting backlash, has effectively scuttled any
real progress on reducing the amount of non-educational sexual
material on Commons.  If similar incidents elsewhere are anything to
go by, it'll be two to three years before serious discussion of the
subject will be possible.
