If the only kind of censorship the MP's are expecting to be provided is
one which searches for `Beavis and Buthead Chuckle Words', how hard will
such a system be to `get around' anyway...

Server-Side: Replace necessary words with a numeric code (presumably the
number 69 is banned though?) - perhaps even the hexadecimal character
equivalent of you origional.

Client-Side: Small Java app, converts the text page back into its
origional form, the filter is blind to what is actually being transmitted.


Any webmaster worth their weight in scripting tools could whip up one of
those faster than altavista can find porn!  

Have they really thought this through?
