Extreme Pornography Law Change Takes Effect

After a long campaign both in favour and against the change in the law on extreme pornography new legislation has finally come into force.

The BBC provides a general round-up of the issues here and our resident satirist also mocks the changes.

Of particular local interest is the way the campaign has been coordinated by Liz Longhurst with the support of Reading West MP, Martin Salter.

Salter has come in for particular critisism over his factually inaccurate interventions expressed on Channel 4 News (you can see for yourself the reaction in the comments below the clip) and the dubious partisan reasons for his involvement.
