And my new MP is.... I don't believe it!
Arron Fitzgerald, 10 Jan 2006 10:08:19
Dear All,
As I am relocating to Reading before the end of this month, I took the time to enquire upon my new local MP, in case I should be unfortunate enough to incur any grievances that warrant an MP's intervention.
And to my surprise I find it's Martin Salter, cleerleader for the 'Clean up the internet campaign'. Following my intital dejection, I realised this would be an excellent opportunity to pesonally challenge a member of this campaign.
So I intend to pay him a visit when he next holds surgery, and present him with a selection of material from the internet, asking him which images he believes warrant imprisonment for possession.
If anyone wishes to any material 'vetted' by Mr Salter for compliance with the proposed new legislation, please forward it to me.
Arron

Maybe you should mix in some material from TV and film, as well as "porn" sites, and see if Salter can distinguish this as being acceptable in the absence of context? If he can't, then he is basically advocating "thought-crime"...
It would also be nice for someone to disabuse this moron of the foolish comparisons he makes between "extreme" material and child pornography. You would have thought an elected MP would have enough basic erudition to understand the obvious issues of CONSENT here!

good for you, Arron.
recently watched "the Wind in the Willows" and "Papillon". Both had some
stills that would pass as extreme - washerwoman bound and manhandled in
undies and Papillon chained to a bench and forced to eat like a dog....

Arron,
Well done. Here are few suggestions:
Carefully plan what you want to say before hand and reherse the arguments and counter arguments. Ensure you have some killer questions and don't under estimate what he knows.
Try to avoid getting too emotional, you need to think clearly.
Try to be polite at all times but very assertive - it will make it more difficult for him to brush your questions aside.
Have a clear understanding of what you want to get out of it. You will undoubtably make an impact which is good but do you want him to do anything? Provide any information - what is currently happening? Meet you again?
Good luck and let us know how you get on
Paul
