"There's no law like that new UK law."

It isn't law, and I suspect won't become law. It's one of those headline-catching populist proposals politicians come up with when they find it necessary to distract public and media attention from more serious issues.

This sort of thing generates a lot of noise but little real open controversy, since few people are likely to want to be seen defending the right to watch violent pornography, while those arguing from a more general human rights supporting  position will get labelled by conservative press commentators as trendy liberals out of touch with reality.

This does present something of a bind for rightwingers -- do they condemn the nanny state in the name of freedom or condemn purveyors of `filth' and demand a ban?

EDIT: "every PC type whiner.."  I suspect that `PC' is what people opposing the ban would be called.
