Well, this is a lib-dem/Conservative supported amendment but there's no need to bring party politics into this argument since it seems it's supported by all sides.

I agree that my examples are extreme but I'm trying to point out the stupidity of it, it's either very open to abuse or useless since anyone contesting a block could reasonable ask why sites further up the chain aren't also blocked. I also wonder where a site like Torrentz.com would stand in all this.
