I've just signed two petitions on the Downing Street site.

The first concerns the action of police who, as part of a campaign against drugs, have been distributing in schools leaflets advertising an organisation called Narconon with links to the Scientologists.

For background information see a study by the Sunday Times

The second petition protests at a proposal in the current Criminal Justice Bill to make it illegal to posses what is ambiguously termed 'extreme pornography'.

More information is provided by this article.

50 years ago laws against 'pornography' were widely ridiculed and they were repealed in the 1960's, yet those laws were mild compared with what is being introduced now, because the old laws forbade only 'publication', showing the material to someone else. To criminalise mere possession is to prepare the way for an inquisition, and all to give self righteous hypocrites a chance to boost their pomposity !!
