The shenanigans in Parliament may mean that this forthcoming legislation is delayed or amended, but I do not think for a moment that things will be allowed to carry on as they are.
Things change, older people lose touch as their experience & ideas become outdated and are replaced by younger people with modern ideas as a solution to modern problems.
At one time we were the leaders of change and older people were irritated by us, now younger people are doing it to us and we often don't like it.
You can be sure that the people driving forward the changes of today will experience the same thing in years to come.

The problem is, Richard, we are lurching from one extreme to the other. You cannot solve every problem with legislation.
If the Bill was trimmed back to dealing with extreme illegal porn on the internet and suchlike, most people would support that.
The Bill as currently drafted goes much too far and curtails free speech. It is veering dangerously close to the ‘cancel culture’ that is developing and insidiously closing down debate in our universities and ruining careers of those in our entertainment industry.
I am surprised you cannot see that.
