I'm aware and it's precisely because it's not a new thing been seeing it for years, I specifically was asking for a citation for this government.

I don't rule out they are daft enough to consider it, I just think they aren't quite that stupid.

OSA was a "something must be done, this is something, it must be done" thing - they can appease the mumsnet types for a bit with it and would generally prefer it quietly went back to sleep for a bit.

Not least because it's gonna hurt them electorally because while the people who are slightly in favour of it where slightly in favour of it a lot of the people who aren't really aren't seeing it as either unworkable, stupid or unworkable and stupid.
