The Bill says consent of the people featured cannot be a defence because people should not be allowed to participate in degrading activities.

If the people in the pictures are consenting (and that’s regardless of how the images are made; they could be theatrical, professionally photoshopped, simulated by stunt people or simply shots taken out of context.) then where is the degradation?

Degradation is about abuse and loss of power. And by that standard, the government is degrading us by abusing our right to choose what we look at and by taking away our power. And by the Bills own statements, people should not be allowed to participate in degrading activities.

So, by adhering to such a spurious and pointless law in the first place, people would then be breaking it!

I cannot see how this law in any way benefits the country.

Letting serious criminals out of prison early? Oh lets fill up the spaces with people who watch porn! They are the real criminals in society arent they????

Quite insane.

Thank you to Graham Marsden above. I have written to my MP about this.

They need to get their heads out of the bedroom of consenting adults and get back to running the country. Thats what we pay them for.
