What the fuck is this net neutrality shit I keep hearing?

Lots of concerns with it but basically it would make the internet like cable television.

So, in other words, you'd pay a set price for a basic internet access, but to go to other websites you'd have to pay more. On top of that, internet providers could sensor and block content however they see fit.

So let's say the basic package is $20 (sorry, typing this from the US so I don't have the pound symbol). $20 gets you access to the internet, but that's it. If you want to go on Facebook/Instagram/Twitter, that would cost another $10 for the Social Media Package. To visit google, you would need to pay $5 for the search engine package. To stream Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime, that's another $15 for the media package. This is just hypothetical, but that's the fear.

Also, it would allow internet provides to block/sensor content as they see fit. So if my internet provider is Verizon, they can block anti-Verizon comments on Bluemoon, Reddit, etc. Or, they can throttle or flat out block access to entire sites. One of the biggest internet providers over here is Comcast. Without net neutrality, Comcast could block users from going to sites they don't have an interest in. For example, Comcast has the same parent company as ESPN, but not Fox Sports, their competitor. Comcast could block their users from access to Fox Sports because they're in direct competition and have a business interest in forcing consumers to their site over their competitors. Which would really suck because I have Comcast as it's the only option in my area, and I stream almost all City games through Fox Sports.

Sorry for the long-winded response - but I hope that answers the question. I'm not sure how television/internet are set up in England so if that doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll try to explain further.
