That really peeved me off, saying that basically all people who live on the river Tyne are agressive bullies. I take huge offense to that, mind from a Neanderthal (David: if you are reading this I mean idiot) I wouldn't expect much else really, I doubt he even had the cognitive capacity to write the letter himself and probably dictated it to one of his lackies.
I would like to think that as an MP they are elected to represent their constiuents, and one persons views should be seen as that. One may be representing the majority, but not the whole of the area, and may infact be the minority, he is just following party policy pretty much like the rest of the Labour MPs. Yes they should be able to state their opinion, but it should be done in a professional manner, as he does not just represent himself, he represents himself, his party, his constituency and to an extent politicians in general.
I feel that to basically say that someone opposed to the extreme pornography aswell is a bit of a jump from one extreme to another. IIRC Child pornography is already illegal so these new laws would not affect it. As for the rest of it, no one is forced to watch it, and aslong as it involves consenting adult(s) and does not break other laws such as GBH etc. I think it should be available. I think child porn is hugely wrong, however I feel there should be nothing stopping an adult going into a shop and buying an S&M film. The new laws may stop this.
