UK violent image laws

[Razor7826]

I'm curious as to how long this ban will last. I'm not familiar with UK law, but is there any sort of appeals process, or does the government now have the right to arrest anyone at all interested in a BDSM lifestyle or kinks?

the laws have all been passed and were also added to a month later despite appeals against it even by some MPs
the law was fought for by Liz Longhurst (not sure if name are allowed) who's daughter was murdered by a man who had an obsession for strangulation and looked at inernet sites connected with it
she launched a campaign backed by most prominent MPs including the home officer and over 50,000 signatures on a petition and with as you can guess a large part of the 'vanilla' population supporting her.

as an aside one of the few MPs who wasnt too happy or convinced about the (then) proposed law was Tony Blair ...George Bush was also in agreement ...so you americans should be safe lol

the people who will be targeted will be those found transmitting violent images, such as on websites or anyone caught with possesion of or images on their pcs, very few people in all liklihood are going to have their pc's seized.

but when they criminalise possession then they are giving police inquisitorial powers to come into your home and see what you've got, and that we didnt have before.
