UK Porn Laws

I have just recieved a mail order video catalogue (STB) and along with the usual " I am over 18" It states:
"You expressly wish to view the explicit contents of the videos you have ordered under your freedom of expression rights, as conferred upon all EEC citizens by the European Court of Human Rights."
Another company (Tabor) states that UK laws have changed for the better recently, although I don't have that catalogue at hand to quote accurately.
Does it now mean that European laws over rule UK laws and allow us to buy what we want (within reason) or is this marketing bullshit? Internet sites still warn UK customers of Customs.
I look forward to your comments

It's a grey area: you can, if your vids are confiscated by C&E, spend ?110k to hire Cherie Booth to defend your EU freedoms against the UK legislature, in the best tradition of British justice being only for the rich.
But if you're potless, you can fuck off, and thank your lucky stars they don't trash your place for good measure.
Mail order, of course, is still strictly illegal, a marvellously hypocritical piece of Catch-22 legislation.

Eh both, it is against the law to market un-certificated material into the UK no question. If a company in Holland markets products into UK unlawfully it breaks an international law and the fines could start at 100,000 Eros. As for mail order I have a company we supply had its credit card account seized and ?40,000 held till all liabilities for transactions are cleared for suppling adult materials (poss 18R's but they don't say so) So wake up don't think this is all over and we can bully the authorites. Anyone who claims a Europeen law overules a UK one is talking bullshit. And for the petty boys who want to troll us pro's fuck you wake up and open your eye's. To the guys that slate the girls who come on the forum, fuck you to coz they have more bottle than all of you trolls coz the use their names they are easy to meet and don't hide behind a hotmail.
We still have a mayor fight on our hands in this country without idiots filling the genuine punters full of shit, for example porn is illegal in Belgium so I hardly think they are going to force anyone into making it legal, In Spain it is ilegal to market any video (Even fuckin Bambie) without a homoligation (just like our BBFC) which you have to pay for, loads of Spainish companies do mail-order to avoid this and every year some get nicked, fined and some sent to nick. So finaly wake up, sorry for the fkins but I am pissed off with the no-fk-alls filling you full of sht. We all sail close to the law you the punter are the safest. Somone accussed me of cutting pissing as a cop-out I never copped in my life ask some of the guys that really know me even the big Irish boy's I used to play with if I think it right I go all the way,

So if Dutch companies like Your Choice are breaking international law how come they are legally registered for tax etc and have been going for 15 years without any grief from the Dutch government. Or am I missing the point as usual?

No , but Holland is by far the most civilised country in Europe, with a succession of Governments that treats people like adults and therefore let's people drink when they want to , take drugs when they want to and watch porn when they want to. Have you ever heard a dumb Dutch footballer? Can we please have a refendum to make Britain part of Holland, so we can all live in peace.

Coz they choose to ignore it, Jay knows like evryone else we all take risks they take as big a risk as anyone. Thats why they deserve some respect if you had to rob your porn at gunpoint you would think twice about wanking, they dont, they sail close to the law to make a living...yes make a living coz thats all anyone really can expect to do.
Good evening guys respect to you all, and I think Southpark is the worst bit off porn on TV,,why coz what is it by deffination it is an adult cartoon....yes please agree I think is a 18 or poss a 16 anyway it goes oput after the watershed amaimed at adults,,,,yes...so we agree its for adults the producers have made for adults to have a laugh at,,,,,well why the fuk do WH Smith sell kin pencil cases to kin Kids, School bags etc etc. They are openly marketing adult materials to our kids,,,They are pornographers,,,yes,
