Re: They want to ban British porn ? ? ?
"[...] whats the next step ? banning them posting all pictures of people under the age of 16 and wearing anything arousing such as swimwear, PE kit, school uniforms, ankle socks etc."
That ban has effectively been in place for years for pictures of anyone "who is - or looks like - they are under 18". IIRC the Sexual Offences Act 2003 changed the rules to include 16/17 year olds in the same classification of "children" as under-16s.
IIRC wile the official levels of "indecent" pictures have simple nudity as the least level - the mid-level is "dressed in a provocative pose". That should make a lot of family album pictures of pouting youngsters illegal. People are getting very sensitive, even self-censoring, about any pictures of their children - no matter how innocent the context. A judge recently banned a pole dancing(?) club from using St Trinian's costumes on its advertising posters.
I am fairly certain there have been cases of people being convicted for possessing children's clothing catalogue pictures.
