Petty bureaucratic safety rules are bad enough where I live but I'm sure damn glad I don't live in the UK where stupid rulemaking has gotten out of hand. Every time I visit there it seems to have gotten worse. One really has to wonder why the UK left the EU when it's so rule-crazy; after all Brussels leads the world in trivial and annoying rulemaking—so you'd reckon the British would be truly at home there. I wish someone would tell me what's happened to the British, they've gone from gung ho empire builders who conquered and ruled half the world to now being so timid they're almost too frightened to leave the house for fear of never returning. The simple solution for Wikipedia to adopt would be to flag all requests from UK IP addresses to pages that are likely to offend the delicate British sensibility with a big red sign to the effect 'Your UK Government has deemed you not responsible enough to view this content'. Going on recent UK trends that'd likely be about half of Wiki's content. Even then such warning are unlikely to resolve the problem as the UK public would be too timid to do anything about it. As was aptly said by a poster before the comment was removed it's sad and pathetic that Wikipedia doesn't have the guts to oppose this stupid law.
