Campaign #1

Campaign #1 - Your People Need You!

Update: Despite receiving numerous responses opposed to the proposal discussed below, the government has decided to go ahead with plans to criminalise all cartoons which depict children in a sexual manner, for the reasons discussed here. Despite this, I’d like to thank everyone who pariticipated in our campaign.

There is currently a proposal in the UK to criminalise depictions of child erotica which are not photo-realistic.

The people behind the proposal state that,

• “It is the case that cartoons, drawings and material created entirely by manipulation of computer software do not harm real children [..]”
• “Failure to act would allow these images to remain in circulation where they could [..] perpetuate inappropriate feelings towards society’s most vulnerable members.”
• “The law should cover CGIs, cartoons and drawings. This wide category could also cover sculptures and other objects but the threshold levels proposed below should help to ensure that works of art and other material which might be regarded as being in the public good are not caught.”
• “The Government believes that the consultation and the proposed offences would not adversely impact on any section of society. This will be further tested in the consultation process.”

This proposal is not designed to protect children, it is designed to criminalise paedophiles for their thoughts.

Please provide sensible feedback by contacting the Home Office at any of the following addresses. I strongly advise reading the full text of the proposal first.
