Orwell should have titled his novel "2008".
At this rate, IngSoc will be a reality.

I expect the porn fanciers here will soon turn out to attack this Taliban-like decision.

Mrs Longhurst said legislation, which would apply to all websites, would mean her daughter's death had not been "entirely in vain".I can't tell from that statement whether just viewing images via the WWW would be "possession," or whether it's referring to the servers hosting the images.

How do they plan on judging what is violent and what is not? In the denotative sense, all sex is violent, but I'm sure they mean the connotative sense, which requires subjective judgement. Does this mean they're setting up a government office where they'll have government workers look at porn all day and decide what is violent and what is not?

Meanwhile there is still no travel restriction on Bill Clinton, serial rapist, from travelling to the UK.

They will decide what is erotic and what is porn.
"Porn is what gets you hot, erotica is what gets me hot."

If there is no effort made to criminalize S&M and B&D which celebrate the actual exercise of violent and sadistic fantasies, then the ban on porn is for naught.

Trial jurors had been told of his obsession with strangulation and how he looked at internet sites connected with the fetish. As usual, the crusaders mix up the causality. He obviously visited the sites because he was sick, the sites didn't make him sick.
To: John Jorsett
It is already a crime to make or publish such images but proposed legislation will outlaw possession of images such as "material featuring violence that is, or appears to be, life-threatening or is likely to result in serious and disabling injury". There isn't anything relating to pornography in that description. It's probably only a poorly-written story but I'd love to know what's really going on here.

How do they plan on judging what is violent and what is not? They'll use the Catherine McKinnon definition -- all sex is violence against women.
To: John Jorsett
I have no problem with this, but wouldn't she save more lives by winning the right of armed self-defense for English women?
