I don't think there's been a government more willing to wheel out the 'Think of the Children' defense (or other similar meaningless done-to-death arguments such as stopping terrorists etc.) than the UK government, and a populous more willing to lap it up at every turn. (Remember Cameron's anti-porn and anti-encryption crusade? Remember Theresa May banging on about the very same things?) Some stances are just perpetually expected to be brought at some point, at least in my eyes, and it can be quite tiring to fight the same battles and arguments again and again, which I suppose is the whole point of beating said stances over the electorate, until they relent.
Given the current precarious position of PM Johnson though, I do not see this actually doing anything just yet other than being a flagrant distraction/appeasement/corruption/all of he above.
