Sir, – If they wanted to guarantee we watched The Life of Brian, they couldn’t have done a better job. In 1979, banning it ensured that everyone in my friend group watched it.
Just like the people who think they can stop children accessing inappropriate content on social media: have you ever been young?
Do you have any idea how resourceful teenagers can be? Kids will always find a way to see the things you want to hide.
How about we educate our children about the dangers of the things they’re likely to come across?

Let’s teach them stuff that’s actually useful and might protect them instead of pretending we can stop them accessing the internet. – Yours, etc,
BERNIE LINNANE,
