    The Ministry of Justice said that possessing and publishing porn showing incest between family members and sex between step or foster relatives where one person pretends to be under-18 would be a crime.

    So it’s only a crime if they pretend to be under-18, and I haven’t seen any porno where anyone pretends to be under-18. There’s literally a category called barely 18. No one ever pretends to be under, but they do pretend to be barely-18.

    Jess Asato, the Labour MP for Lowestoft, said: ‘After many years of campaigning to ensure online pornographic content is subject to the same rules as offline content,

    When the fuck was under-18 porn ever legal? WTF? Also, isn’t the age of consent in the UK 16 years old?

    What the fuck is the point of this? Why the fuck is it needed? Who is it helping? What is it fixing? NOTHING.

    Fucking jokers… Go tax the billionaires and fix the NHS and the cost of the living crisis you cunts .

    I don’t understand, do they mean they are ok if it is under 18 but not incest? Is that where they draw the line regarding underage porn?

    Surprised they’re outright banning it instead of requiring a license

    As always, the first computers you should check when anyone tries to ban consensual porn that harms no one, are the computers of the ones proposing the ban.

    Great, now everywhere else is going to be overrun by british porn-tourists, locking themselves in their hotel rooms for their entire stay, looking to masturbate to lame incest porn.

    MPs, of all people, have no fuckin right to act all holy about porn. They are depraved weirdos, the whole scabby bunch.

    Just reminded me of this incident - it’s a Tory, not labour, and many will be too young to remember, but I recall it being funny as fuck. The article neglects to mention that he was hanging in a cupboard and also had an orange full of poppers in his gob.

    There are many, many more recent stories of debauchery amongst the bunch of wankers who rule over us, but I felt this one exemplifies the lot

    Step-incest pornography and that which depicts performers as children is abhorrent.
    Alongside banning strangulation in pornography which the government previously announced, tackling this vile content will make our country a safer place for women and children and shows the UK can lead the world in tackling violence against women and girls

    That’s it folks, step incest is violence against women and girls. Next up, in order to further protect them, they’ll be prohibited from going outside without a man by their side.

    Whoever asked “What’s next, BDSM?” - guess what

    The government has already made porn that shows women being choked illegal, after a review found videos like these had helped normalise it in real life.

    The only silver lining in this whole thing is still only in “planning”

    Ministers are also planning to make tech bosses personally liable if their platforms do not remove intimate pictures of people that are posted without consent.

        Real choking in any capacity, skilled or otherwise is dangerous. Simulated/RP choking, especially in porn is fine. Which one of the two are they trying to ban?

    This is the hill they die on? This is the issue they threaten to revolt for? Not properly funding the NHS or something else that benefits people?

    Why is your political class in the UK even discussing such nonsense? If no harm is done, let people jack off to whatever they please.

      The Labour Party has some Methodist roots (possibly more than Socialist) and has long included a petty-authoritarian faction. Starmer and Shabana Mahmood are very much of that tendency. See also bans on anti-genocide protests, the failed-yet-again ID card scheme, cruel treatment towards asylum seekers and trans people, continuing opposition towards soft-drug decriminalisation, and upholding previous age-verification and porn bans.

      It’s idiotic because Labour’s chances of seizing the curtain-twitcher vote from Labour and Reform are next to nil.

      But I suppose Starmer’s too afraid to stand up to Trump, so there needs to be some kind of “think of the children” displacement activity to stay in the press.
