Justice by media?

One day on the way in from exercise I heard a voice calling me. I looked down to the "nutters" spur. A flash of flesh from the barred hatch in the cell.
"Hello" I said."What do you want.
"Look I have never been in prison before and now that I have pleaded guilty with diminished responsibility" he said.
I looked as his face came into view. He stopped to judge my re-acion to his plea of diminished responsibility. "Who did you kill? I asked.
" A copper" he said dramatically.
"Why? I asked."
Because he tried to beat me to death with a piece of wood. On Wimbledon Common.he added.
Soon as he mentioned this I knew his case as it had been wildly reported in the press.
"He was the police recruit of the year".
carried on. I knew the story but not the killer's side. The "SM Gay" in whose flat,near to Wimblecommon, the police had discovered an SM dungeon, whips and chains...the lot. The News of the Screws sold millions of copies. Everyone wanted to know what went on in the gay Dungeon and who
had been whipped by the gay SM Master. Evidently a lot of people had been dominated by him. Some quite well known.

His voice was coming through to me again. "So my solicitor said that if I pleaded guilty to manslaughter then I would be a patient ,not a prisoner in hospital. Do think that I will get out of the secure mental hospital that they put me in."

"Well you could get out quicker than if you went to prison. " I said but really I did not feel easy in predicting what would happen to him or how long he would do.

My point is that this guy, on trial now who has just got a re-trial, who supposed to have learned this behaviour from the internet and porn films. However it since has been proven that he indulged in breath restiction in SM practices before the internet had been widely available. This was the law that those self righteous politicians proposed because a defendant in a murder trial had looked at SM sites where breath restriction was practised in an erotic scenario. There is an anology to both cases SM. The demonization of SM and its adherents as dangerous.
Being a pornographer since the Sixties has given me an insight into all kinds of polymorphous sexual behaviour.

What does breath restriction do? Once I was the slave in a femdom scene. The girl started choking me. I stopped immediately and gasped for oxygen.
"Fucking hell baby what was that I said. At first I thought that it was a hit!
"But that is what they like" Trixie said indignantly.
Then there was Hutchtens hanging behind that door. Some people get sexual pleasure from sexual strangulation. Weird maybe but not for you or me perhaps.

SM practitioners very rarely inflict anything more severe than a whip mark or so. Does society feel threaten by the phenomenom?
So the Extreme Pornography Bill threatens all creative filmmakers and and artist because it controls freedom of expression.

Not to mention the complete comtempt for human rights.

I've been firing letters of left right and centre to the Home Office over this. I finally got an admission in writing from the Criminal Policy Unit that they had un-intentionally mislead the general public in a radio broadcast over the outcome of the consultation results, of course their stance hasn't and won't change.

Now even if this is eventually defeated, it won't be going away. As soon as the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill get's passed in Parliamnet there is no stopping this one.

I wonder when the rest of the UK Producers will wake up and realise that thier livelihood will be gone overnight and that they will be looking at three years in prison and have thier names on the sex offenders register for the rest of their life?

Jacques,

They will not wake up because the majority believe that the Extreme Pornography Bill will not effect them. They don't realise that the people in power behind censorship legislation are religious cranks or political feminists both of whom are irrational and intransigent in their belief that pornography degrades women.

What is this Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill?

I have seen it all before and censorship is rearing its ugly head again. I can see it coming and that is why I am leaving. In any case producers in this country do not have freedom of expression and operate inside the R18 restricted market. We are caught between the corrupt and the"protectors of children." There will be lots more money for criminals the more censorship we have.

Hi Mike

The Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill is the nastiest piece of legislation yet to come from this Government. It grants any minister the ability to amend, replace, or repeal existing legislation without Parliament being able to examine it properly.

We would have no meaningful representation in Parliament, 700 years of democracy and the rule of law, thrown away in a heartbeat.

I've just written to Lord Sainsbury of Preston Candover as the Bill comes before the Lords on 2nd November for it's Third Reading and told him I would like the phrase "he considers" to be removed from the Bill, so that any law changed under it must be considered burden reducing by any reasonable person rather than by a possibly (probably) unreasonable Minister.

I also asked him to attend Parliament on Thursday, and vote for any opposition amendments which remove the phrase "he considers", or otherwise make the Bill safer by voting against passing the Third Reading of the Bill if the phrase is not removed.

I wonder how many others will do this or in fact if anyone cares? Those that are apathetic to this have no idea what is around the corner for democracy in this country.

If anyone would like to do the same find a non-Labour Lord here and do it.
