Question for the Brits

[EZWind]

Hey
...looks like that bloke Cameron may have gotten his priorities a bit skewed, eh?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/22/uk-blocking-porn-_n_3635247.html

...can't imagine an internet w/out Joanna, Liberty, Lady Sonia or The English Mansion
...what's up w/that?

[LibertyHarkness]

haha this wont affect me in the slightest ... only about 18% of my members come from the uk , so to be honest i am not concerned by it at all .. and i can easiy just move my entire production to offshore and go fuck the uk for their rules etc :)

What i have a problem is with David Cameron being even more of a complete Tool than he already is , yet again he shows how to fuck up the country by wasting resources on something that is of miniscule worth compared to the real issue of dealing with immigration, enemployment, tax dodgers , getting our country involved in conflicts that dont concern us, not helping the old people that lost all their pensions from our fucked government etc .. we could go on and on with this list .. but no david cameraon wants to censor the internet here so he can control what we can and cant see online, porn/CP is just a catalyst as its plays on the moral strings of mums/house wives etc it just a stepping stone to enable him to get more cunty bills passed to restrict what the UK public can access .. Freedom of Speech my ass lol the uk is a twisted form of commie state almost , we are being told what we can eat, drink, see, do etc ,, watch what happens over the next 10years lol

Way to go Team GB :) woop woop lol perosnally i cant wait to leave this rancid sinking ship of a country .

Though i do agree with the filters being standard practise etc , i do agree with some ot ATVOD ideas of only credit cards being allowed for billing to prove a person is over 18 etc .. i do agree with banning heavy rape, violent implied videos etc but the whole CP issue is bullshit as clearly david cameron hasnt heard of P2P which is what most of the nonces use to swap vile imagery etc ..

[tsadriana]

I chocke my myself reading this article...Its obvious that David Cameron dont give a fuck about Brits and all brits goverments sounds just like him...Ignorant and momeny hunters.UKIP its another danger for the UK but most birts are blind...

[Ben in LA]

Joanna basically said the same thing.

Don't forget Linda Bareham from LegsOnShow...I love her site just as much as I love the other sites mentioned.

[Prospero]

Well Cameron presides over a party run by the kleptocracy. Conservative ideas are about protecting an elite. And damn the rest of the population. There is so much wrong with the way this country is governed i can hardly know where to begin.

On pornography, his ideas about pornography on the internet are largely unworkable, though in general, I would personally support a tighter control on the easy dissemination of child prnn - and ultra violent porn. The sick minds who want to consume this are one thing. But real violence and damage is done in creating this stuff is appalling. Innocents are being damaged. That is a terrible crime. (and it is the sort of material that Hung Angels, for instance, and its sister site Hung Devils, would instantly remove and anyone posting it would be banned. )

[timid1]

As a techno numpty , I dont want my access to more "interesting" areas of the www restricted! The UK Gov generally show a MASSIVE LACK OF UNDERSTANDING re porn /internet etc...... but I know 1 laudable aim is to crush Child Porn , which I fully support and I guess all (hopefully) on HA do too , but I, and they , probably dont know the best way to do that ?

[EZWind]

haha this wont affect me in the slightest

...well, I'm glad to hear that


... ... fuck up the country by wasting resources on something that is of miniscule worth compared to the real issue of dealing with immigration, unemployment, tax dodgers , getting our country involved in conflicts that dont concern us, not helping the old people that lost all their pensions...

well, I'd like to extend a welcoming hand to you from the States, but, sadly, I'm afraid you wouldn't be escaping too many of those same ills over in this neck o the woods either

[iagodelgado]

The days of banning porn in its entirety are over.

But I would support laws that make it illegal to send images of violent sex.

[EZWind]

.... I would personally support a tighter control on the easy dissemination of child porn - ....and it is the sort of material that Hung Angels, for instance, and its sister site Hung Devils, would instantly remove and anyone posting it would be banned. )

....along with just about every other porn sight I've ever been on. Seems to me that strict policing of kiddie porn is already in place. Is this type of material really that dangerously prevalent in the UK?

[Prospero]

I gather is can be found by peer to peer and on something called 'the dark net.' But i have no idea what that is.

[txjr3]

This has nothing to do with protecting kids, or other groups potentially harmed by images on the web. I'm an expat brit, and go home for a visit every summer. I just went a couple weeks ago. Every year there is another rabble rousing "scare" being pushed by the govt and the press, that allows further surveillance/control of the people. Couple years ago it was stabbings in inner cities, so now there are fuckin big brother cameras everywhere, another year it was gypsies, so now there are laws that allow racial profiling. This year it was child porn on the web. My old, old dad was frothing at the mouth he was so worked up about it, but all he goes on is the stupid Daily Mail whipping people into outrage over the problem du jour. Doesn't even have a PC or internet access. Point is, Cameron couldn't give a shit about kids, they don't even vote, but he does want to play to the angry mob and look like he's doing something. For a US parallel, think flag burning, homo marriage, gun rights, etc, all hot topics that rally the faithful but have about zero impact on real peoples lives. The UK has become a fucking police state, with the population dumbing down and being fed pablum like TOWIE, Idol, Big Brother and other shit to keep them from thinking. Sad.

Same Farage who is moaning about EU the same Farage spent 2millions of £ in his behalf...No mater who wins the elections in this country they are all the same love..And for the EU i agreed eu better without Uk AND WITH THE OTHER WAY ARROUND.

Pakistan and the list could go on forever.lol

[NoNameXIV]

you all know that each household has the option too refuse these 'filters' if they wish?? it solves nothing, just shuts up every other fucker in this country that likes to complain about shit but never wants to do anything to stop it and just thinks the government should resolve all their problems. BY NO MEANS am i advocating child porn or rape or anything of the like. i just think we as a society/community should be doing more to help one and other rather than taking up the "its some else s problem" attitude that most Brits have nowadays

I agree. As with all his other bright ideas, Cameron is just trying to score points. That is called politics!

Ok I missed that lol but looked it up and tbh it sounds plausible, when its added up Mr Farage quote on quote.

"Let's have a look at this £2 million, which is £200,000 a year over a decade. I know this sounds a lot but it includes salaries for staff in the regional office and in Brussels, the running of a large regional office, my travel, not just to Strasbourg and Brussels, but to all parts of the UK in my role as leader. Believe me it doesn't leave very much".

I put it down to the vested interests of the powers that be and their media manipulation machine skewing the facts, the guy is a straight talker whereas most pollies are full of shit and evade.

Nuke Russia and the other former soviet states. That would dramatically reduce the quantities available.



I gather is can be found by peer to peer and on something called 'the dark net.' But i have no idea what that is.

The dark net or deep web is a lot of hype, the terms just refer to parts of the internet where you can't get directed there from other sites or Google. If you set up a website, don't link to any other websites and switch off Google indexing it's now part of the dark net. All websites when being tested before launch are dark net.

The real problem is P2P and TOR. TOR is an anonymous network where you log in through multiple machines so you can't be logged by the site at the end which is why it's popular for CP. It's slow as hell because of the multiple connections but a lot of high profile companies support it because it prevents governments spying on people.

What txjr and Libby have said I totally agree with. This isn't about pornography or protecting children, it's about the government spying. The number who opt in will be monitorable and big brother will be watching. For those who can afford it and don't want the party van arriving I'd suggest paying for a VPN.

[LibertyHarkness]

i dont even think its about the government spying , its about censorship of media and the government controlling what we can see .. porn / CP is merely used as a catalyst you watch .... it will then progress onto anything that puts the UK government in a bad light , protestors, regliious groups , etc anything the government doesnt want you the public to have access to easily ...

[LibertyHarkness]

the only thing left that is Great about Great Britain is the huge debt the country has lol

[Prospero]

And it's beautiful landscape - and many of its people... and its great artists and composers and writers and poets... and film makers... and cream teas... and shakespeare and... the list is long....

[pilgrim33]

I would say that I feel lucky to have been born in the UK. Purely because I have freedom of speech, an excellent Health Care service, a good education, a job with prospects and all the rest of it. Especially considering when you look at most other Countries in Europe and what a state they are in and the vast proportion of Africa and even though Asia is booming, the way they treat their people is discgraceful in some of their countries. What I cant stand though is the Westminster bubble that the MPs live in who know nothing about ordinary working people and how they would like to live their lives. Instead they point to the Daily Mail and suggest this is how British people want to live and that depresses me. Cameron is a toff who has never had or ever will know what its really like to live in the real world. The Internet block is a side show that will never happen.

[Ananke]

And it's beautiful landscape - and many of its people... and its great artists and composers and writers and poets... and film makers... and cream teas... and shakespeare and... the list is long....

And most and foremost: it's very special type of HUMOR: the best in the world!!!:crazy

[chamber7]

This is just Cameron pandering to the stuffy elderly middle England grass root Tories because they are pissed at him for passing Gay marriage.

Hello,

First the US government fucked over my legal adult entertainment business to serve it's political agenda through legal technicalities.

Now it appears that my home government in the UK is preparing the grounds, under the premise of protecting minors, to deliver a political agenda that will take away the right to sexual self-expression and self-determination of morality and thereby lead to my adult entertainment business, once again, being fucked over.

Fuck me over once, shame on me, fuck me over twice and shame on you for thinking that your political agenda can stop me from wanting to produce porn for those that want it!!

In the time that it takes the UK government to turn it's desire for victorian censorship into law, my business will be based in a country that recognises both an adult's desire and right for sexual entertainment and the economic benefits that derive from it's production.

And so, both the land of the free and the birthplace of democracy choose to denounce my right to sexual self-expression!

And I leave you with this thought: Whilst I may have the knowledge and resource to move beyond the shackles of political censorship, when will you realise that your right to enjoy porn should not require it's producers to be outlaws.

Ever more discriminated,

Joanna

:iagree::iagree::iagree:

Very well said, Joanna.

And while we're on the subject of government hypocrisy, what's the additional rush to protect children when there are already plenty of safeguards which responsible parents should be using?

Shouldn't their priority be to remove children from poverty?

It's been the same since Cameron and his posh boys got in, we're being governed by the Daily Mail mentality, knee-jerking, pursed-lipped crypto fascists who oppose gay marriage and anything else which smacks of equality, while at the same time in both their print editions and in the notorious Mail Online sidebar of shame constantly belittle and criticise women in the most obnoxious and sexist ways, far worse and with greater impact than porn does.

Utter bastards.

Good luck in whatever you do.

[LibertyHarkness]

I have been looking at homes in Budapest .. amazing what you can rent for not much money compared to the UK and as we all know .. Budapest is the Porn Capital of Europe/UK these days :) tempting indeed :)

6bed house with swimming pool, fully furnished for £1000 per month :) and freely able to produce porn, market etc .. and jusy bypass the UK completely ... choices choices stay in UK or not :...

[Prospero]

How is your Hungarian, Libby? And don't overlook the fact that the neo-Nais are on the rise - quite seriously - in Hungary and might not be so receptive to a British porn star living there. Just a suggestion or further research...

[broncofan]

Yeah I am sure Hungary has some nice places Liberty. Be on the lookout for Jobbik. This is the political party in Hungary that is causing all sorts of problems. Get a feel for the situation before making any commitments:.

[Prospero]

Thanks Bronco. Jobbik is the name... and even the present rulers are making life very uncomfortable for minority groups - jews, Gypsies, Gay people etc.... Jobbik are allowed to parade around in military uniforms with logos like the Swastika and they have been implicated in many murders.

I was in Budapest in spring 2007. The thing that really struck me - aside from the architecture, the food, and the amazing subway - was the number of orientals I saw. And I don't mean tourists but people just going about their business and who obviously lived there. I had expected a fairly homogeneous population. I was surprised because Hungary was known even then as a neo-nazi haven. The funnily ironic thing about Hungary is that they owe their state to the Mongols and ranks high as a nation of MonGrels......how they could ever align themselves with racist ideology is almost as puzzling as the rise of neo-nazism in Mongolia!

Indeed... but they were pretty far to the right in WW2 after Admiral Horthy took over.

[LibertyHarkness]

i could join up and be their first TS neo nazi :) I would look hot in my WW2 Coat and hat wahhhhhhhhh :)

Nahh seriously budapest is a porn central place .. but so is some of spain .. france and italy ..

Thing with Hungary is yes it is abit iffy with some groups .. but then it comes to discretion i guess , if i lived in budapest i wouldnt be out as a TS ... and i wouldnt be escorting etc. i would just be doing shooting for companies , mostly females etc . and come back to UK to escort for a week each month :)

[Prospero]

and you can stand to live in a place that murders gypsies?

[Stavros]

Indeed... but they were pretty far to the right in WW2 after Admiral Horthy took over.

Horthy became the Regent in Hungary in 1920 after the overthrow of the Communist government of Bela Kun -which from 1919 was so assailed by military forces from Romania, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia it failed to establish itself as a stable government and was itself responsible for many crimes against humanity. Horthy lasted until 1944 having bargained an alliance with Germany in return for the restoration of land taken away by the Treaty of Trianon; he was never comfortable with the Nazi's, and when he decided to surrender in 1944 and abandon the German-Italian axis the Nazi's arrested him, and subsequently he gave evidence against the Nazi's at the Nuremberg trials.

The Jewish communities of Hungary were amongst the worst treated in this bleak period -for that matter they weren't exactly welcome in the Communist era even though prominent members of the party were (lapsed) Jews -many were strung up or shot on sight during the 1956 uprising; and Horthy cannot escape responsibility for the laws of the 1930s and the excesses that followed, even if some of the worst atrocities took place in the latter stages of the war after his arrest. Anti-Jewish feeling has never really gone away in Europe, even if it is no longer respectable as it once was, and the fact that it is and always has been an offence against humanity to people like me.

Central Europe has many unresolved issues of ethnic tension, some of which have a tendency to violent expression, but the property is cheap and in any case, the UK's record on human rights is not much better even if individuals can claim to have opposed the crimes committed in our name.


The films of Miklos Jancso- The Red and the White, The Round-Up, Red Psalm and Allegro Barbaro are incisive -sometimes brutal treatments of the period before and after the Revolution, but rarely touch on the Jewish element of Hungarian life even though Jansco is himself Jewish and has been involved in a film project about the Jews of Hungary whichcan be seen as extras on the DVD's of his films.

[broncofan]

I am not passing judgment on whether one should live there or not, nor do I know how safe it would be to move there. But I had no idea the situation for the Roma is as bad as it is. So thank you for that Prospero.

[lixx]

He's not banning it outright.

He's simply saying that ISPs have to enable shields for customers to surf porn.

I'm sceptical of that though, since who is to say they won't store records of who sees what? ISPs already do that, but hmm.. even still, he won't secure an outright ban. if so, we're not a free country anymore lol.

No there is more than that ,, he is actually imposing outright bans on certain sex words, websites etc that are deemed obscene .. anything that has simulated Rape is going to be made illegal to own/produce/posses in the uk ... So some sites like kink run could well find themselves blocked in the uk ... the problem is who is going to decide on these words, terms, websites that get added to the block list ,, is there going to be a way of contesting them etc ?

[LibertyHarkness]

and you can stand to live in a place that murders gypsies?

Well i live in a country that has no issues in helping the murder of thousands of innocent people globally with sales of weapons to various groups around the world :)

Prospero every country commits bad attrocities so i dont think it really matters where you live anymore on that front .

For me i would look at this as purely a commercial work aspect move . I couldnt actually care less for the place of budapest itself .. but if its a viable profiitble place to work out of or evening just setting up the business to there etc and running it remotely etc ..

Hello,

In true British style, we have talked and moaned about it but where my fellow citizens almost always fail is in getting off their asses and actually doing something constructive with the the democratic process they created!

When it comes to censorship, the greatest enemy is not the government, not highly motivated lobbying groups and not corporate power but the apathy of the people.

So, if you are British, walk away from Eastenders, the X Factor, Facebook Angry Birds or whatever distracts you from your role in a democratic state and sign this bloody petition please!!!

Hi Ben,


We Americans are the same way. We complain about something yet do nothing to change it. Hopefully your country persons do differently.

With the official petition to stand against it currently standing at 35,000 signatures in an adult population of 51,000,000, it appears that complacency towards the privilege of a democratic process is as pervasive in the UK as it is in the US.

Whilst our most recent history has shown that in China, South Africa and Burma, the value of having the personal right to challenge government policy meant being willing to make a stand before a tank or be the subject to years of political incarceration.
But in the western world, what other people are willing to die for, we allow to be eroded one small chunck at a time asa losing one more civil liberty is easier to bear than having to suffer the embarrassment of being labeled by acceptable society as an "activist".

Out of all of the UK porn industry, only one of the most successful adult industry entrepreneurs (but retired), Tanya Tate (British pornstar but lives in the US) and I have proved willing to make a public stand against the political attack on the UK adult industry.
With only three people in the whole of the British porn industry (with me being the only one with an active incorporated company running out of the UK) is it any wonder that only 35,000 in an adult population of 51 million have shown willing to stand up and be counted?

Come on fellow Brits on HA. Sign up.

And good luck with it. Keep us posted.

[Infern0]

If this goes through certain sites are going to be losing a fair chunk of change from the UK market, sites like Kink come to mind.

Also for homegrown talent like Liberty Harkness etc it could be an issue if their main fanbase is in the UK

The petition can't get the basic facts right: it says:

The government is currently trying to push a bill forcing ISPs to provide opt-out pornography filtering, however this is an issue that fails to address any real problems.

This is not the case: the government wants ISPs to provide customers with an opt-in filtering process -customers must actively choose to view porn rather than the ISP block it (they already block porn in some obvious cases). If the writers of the petition can't be bothered to read what the government proposes, why should I sign it?

I also don't wholly agree with the 'parenting' issue as it raises the question of the volume of violent images -mostly directed at women- which saturate tv on a daily basis as part of our McMurder media culture that parents have no control over or seem to want to watch, with or without their children. I would rather see a cultural shift that values consensual sexual intimacy above violence, but that is probably asking too much of people these days. The govt is obsessed with a minority of people viewing porn but it doesn't seem to care about large numbers watching people being stabbed, shot, or beaten to death.
