The Home Office plans to make it a criminal offence to own pornographic images it thinks are abhorrent. Even if you don't like porn, there are many reasons to be terrified about these proposals.

In the next ten days, the Home Office will announce the findings of its consultation on the possession of extreme pornography.

Over the summmer recess, the Home Office will decide whether to push ahead and make these proposals law.

Any law would run the risk of people being banged up for three years simply for having pictures on their hard drive -- even if no-one was harmed in their production.

Every indication we have so far is that they are determined to push ahead despite legal advice that says the law would be illegal and widespread opposition.

Even a number of MPs have voiced their opposition to laws which would -- in effect -- inaugurate thougth crime in this country.
