Is porn illegal in the UK? I assume not.

Would a UK parent be arrested if their kid found a parent's porn magazine? I assume/hope not.

Finally, where is the evidence/research that this change will have the desired effect, or even that the current state harms kids?



On your last point, a key report being cited around this story is "the Witherspoon report": http://www.winst.org/family_marriage_and_democracy/social_co...

Maybe it's just me, but there's something overly slick about the promotional site for the report and its various media: http://www.socialcostsofpornography.org/
