MP Seeking To Outlaw Written Accounts of Child Abuse 454
First time accepted submitter Anduril1986 writes "A UK Conservative MP is seeking to expand censorship in another 'think of the children' debate. The plan this time is to make it illegal to possess written accounts of child abuse. According to Sir Paul Beresford, the MP for Mole Valley such writing 'fuels the fantasies' of offenders and could lead to the physical abuse of children."

It sounds like you're overdue for another re-education.

No, no - you have to give permission for a vampire to enter your house, not your daughter.

Yeah, they should have done a logo like the OGC [telegraph.co.uk], which encourages good, healthy wanking instead of disgusting, sinful pedophilia.
