It's all so lame. Only legitimate users get inconvenienced by this sort of thing - geeks and criminals sidestep it quite easily. Making ISPs do the leg work means the paying customers are charged extra for less. Stupid politicians.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
that's also arguably a charitable interpretation of it. wasn't something leaked a while back (don't quote me on this, and also this is paraphrased) where it came out that cameron had asked the ISPs if there were some way they could implement something where it sounded like they were taking a tough stance on this but where they were actually doing very little?
The BBC report seems to be at cross-purposes - the "expert" says everything should be available from the British Library except banned books, while the Library implies the problem's in a 3rd-party supplied wifi link to the external web, and they're trying to keep gambling and porn off it to protect the kiddies - two different things, methinks...
