David Cameron's Nanny State

So, in a deperate attempt, it seems, to claw back some of the voters it's lost to UKIP, in a totally hypocritical move David Cameron wants to introduce Nanny State legislation banning a huge swathe of internet pornography whilst, at the same time, deciding that adults need to be treated as children by making all households internet connetions have "default on" filters.

Was this the same Tory Party who were criticising the last Labour Governmetn for wanting to censor the internet? Why, I believe it was!

Meanwhile, of course, what happens to perfectly legal and legitimate businesses like mine? Affordable Leather Products sells leather bondage and BDSM equipment to consenting adults, yet we will no doubt be swept up in the moral panic that he's created.

What won't help, ironically, is that, being a reputable and responsible business, we already have a warning page at the front of our site and it's marked "18+ only" and "adults only" etc so making us an obvious target for filtering, whereas less reputable site don't bother with such warnings and could easily slip through the net.

So when you're in the mood to buy some adult toys such as floggers, or our deluxe leather wrist and ankle cuffs or maybe a collar or a gag and you start searching, Affordable Leather Products may not appear on your list of search results because you need to be "protected" from our "corrosive images".

Thank you Big Brother...
