I'm posting this that I found on another forum (vegetableoildiesel.co.uk - which rather begs the question of what exactly some members do with their WVO ) for two reasons:
One: There do seem to be enough laws for those who are dabbling in truly criminal stuff and this just seems like another unnecessary Big Brother measure to cost the taxpayers money and criminalise harmless people
Two: Its almost worth travelling in to London to watch as its surely going to be the most comedy protest rally ever
"What do we want?"
"MMmmmmMMMmmm" (chants through full on gimp mask)
"When do we want it?"
"Whenever you tell us we want it mistress"

Off topic I'm afraid but since this site is populated by 99+% men with internet connections I think it's likely to interest at least some of you...

CAAN ACTION NOTICE

Westminster, London.
Beware the kinky p0rn ban!
On the eve of the kinky p0rn ban commencing, CAAN are back in London for another awareness raising action about laws which criminalise adults because of their sexuality. A law we don't think the Government is publicising widely enough, which all adults who possess or access p0rnography need to know about.
This law is based on lack of evidence and lies!
Provisions 63-68 of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 come into effect on 26th January 2009. Despite lack of evidence, the government claims criminalising of the possession of what it calls 'extreme p0rnography' will reduce sex crime. In fact, what evidence exists provides grounds for thinking this measure will have exactly the opposite effect to that intended - making sex crime MORE prevalent.
This law creates harmless criminals!
This law now gives the police the power to invade anyone's home and interfere with their privacy. Convictions for possessing extreme p0rn will carry up to 3 years jail sentence and inclusion on the Sex Offender Register. Just for possessing an image.
This law gives murderers and abusers excuses!
Abuse is illegal, holding images of crimes is illegal and material which promotes abuse is illegal, and quite rightly so – so where's the need for a new law? This law is aimed at consensually made adult fantasy images and based on the bad excuses of a murderer. "The pictures made me do it".
What do we want? Autonomy! When do we want it? Now!
Please join us. Feel free to bring placards and banners and dress as you please, as long as it's not obscene or involving nudity. Yes, you can bring masks, chains and cuffs. Do not bring: alcohol, non prescription drugs or weapons.
If you can attend the action, or are able to assist with things behind the scenes like transporting equipment, people, or donating resources during the time surrounding the action, please get in touch with us ASAP at info@caan.org.uk
CAAN's Statement:
"We believe in the right of consenting adults to make their own sexual choices, in respect of what they do, see and enjoy alone or with other consenting adults, unhindered and unfettered by government."
"We believe that it is not the business of government to intrude into the sex lives of consenting adults."
