I have to accept what you say about opposition, but I wonder if those organisations really are into snuff, torture, necrophilia and bestiality, or if they've jumped onto a bandwagon they really ought not to have. I'm sure everyone on this site agrees that personal tastes and lifestyles are private matters to be left alone by the legislature. But I also expect everyone on this site is against violent crime.

I can't see the reference to bruising and marking, but the presence of bruises and marks on the person photographed doesn't make the image one which is "extreme" even if it is pornographic (produced for sexual arousal).

I agree with you that, if by enacting this legislation Parliament hopes to eradicate sexually inspired crimes, it is profoundly misguided and is in for deep disappointment. I suspect, however, it was done for different motives - political approval and votes. If pictures of dead bodies being used for sex cease to be available, a necrophile will find other means of titillation.
