Petitions for 3 years in jail for all porn viewers
Thanks to Alan
John Beyer has also got in on the act and
started a petition:
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to steadfastly proceed with plans announced in the Queen's Speech to make possession of extreme pornography illegal and to include a much wider range of
pornographic imagery, such as R18 material, within the scope of the Criminal Justice Bill.
Further Details:
In 1972 the late Lord Denning, former Master of the Rolls, said that the law
against pornography had misfired: He said: Much that is obscene has escaped the reach of the law. The pornography industry has exploited to the full a law that is inherently flawed and has failed to fulfil the intention of Parliament in the 1959 Act to
strengthen the criminal law. It has had the opposite effect.

I hope the arch nutter knows he has a fight on his hands from anti-censorship campaigners who won't want to see the law imprison people for watching sex based on the views of a moral impositionist like himself.
I hope the government rejects calls from campaigners like John Beyer to criminalise all pornography which is not based on any evidence that viewing it is harmful but based on his view that people shouldn't be watching sex.
