Petition

2 min read
There is now a petition against the proposed law on the UK government's number 10 website.

petitions.pm.gov.uk/Violent-Po…

If everybody who signs it gets two more people to sign it, in a fortnight, the number will by far exceed the number of people who signed the original petition in favour of the law.

Edit: Initially, I rather optimistically projected that the number of signatories would increase exponentially, doubling each day, so that by now (5th December, Day 17 of the petition being up) we'd have thousands of signatures...

Unsurprisingly, that didn't quite happen, but signatures have been coming in at a remarkably steady rate of about 35 a day, and there are now 616 signatures, which puts the petition around 30th out of many hundreds of petitions, and higher than "legalise cannabis"!!  I think there's still a fair chance that we will reach a tipping point, when the weight of numbers will encourage more people to sign, and it will snowball.

Please note that you must be a British citizen or resident to sign the petition.  If you are not, but feel strongly about this, please circulate this message to any British citizens or residents who might agree with it.

Added Saturday 16th December:

The petition against the proposed 'violent pornography laws' has now collected over a thousand signatures!

Wiki and Forum

A wiki and forum have now been set up, with the help of the campaigning group backlash: www.backlash-uk.org.uk/help.ht…

These will provide further information, a place to discuss the proposed law, and a means of organising actions to oppose it.

Wiki: www.seenoevil.org.uk/wiki/inde…

Forum: www.seenoevil.org.uk/phpBB2/

You might be particularly interested in these pages of the wiki, on fashion, film  and art:

Proposed UK Law

2 min read
By way of an introduction:

I started this profile on Deviant Art to gather examples of artwork that I believe might be made illegal under the proposed 'extreme pornography' law in the uk, and hopefully to get support from some of the artists and models here to oppose the laws, and stop them from being enacted.

The law is intended to cover 'necrophilia' and 'realistic depictions' of 'acts that appear to be life threatening' or 'likely to result in serious disabling injury', 'in a sexual context' (among other things).

Because the law is quite vaguely defined, if it comes to be enforced it may well be stricter than deviant art policy, and some of the pictures I've added to my favourites will probably be illegal to possess.

If you don't want to be associated with this cause, for whatever reason, then please let me know and I will remove you from my favourites.

If you want to find out more, then you can ask me, and I will also be posting various links and information on here.

For the time being, some good places to start are:

backlash - www.backlash-uk.org.uk/ This is the very informative website of a group campaigning against the law, including lots of legal background.

informed consent - www.informedconsent.co.uk/boar… is the activism board of a UK based BDSM community discussion forum.  It does not generally feature pictures, but under 18s are asked not to visit this site.
