I may be stateside but i'm still amazed that a party that's supposed to be truly left-leaning is putting out alt-right policies in the U.K.
It bugs me sometimes that Labour gets to claim it's centre-left when it so consistently is fascist.
Is it a crime to fuck your step sister and step mother?
Not in the UK, according to the article
You're not blood-related, and I can't see how a meaningless title could make it illegal.
Labour had a historical chance after the Tories have fucked it up so much, and they're just doing shit all the time
Hopefully the Green party can save UK
Someone check in with any step relatives he has, this smacks of projection
If you yell loud enough about this being an abomination, you seem more virtuous.
Sounds like someone got caught watching step sister porn, and is now throwing the weight of government behind his shame.
The Ministry of Justice said that possessing and publishing porn showing incest between family members and sex between step or foster relatives where one person pretends to be under-18 would be a crime.
So it's only a crime if they pretend to be under-18, and I haven't seen any porno where anyone pretends to be under-18. There's literally a category called barely 18. No one ever pretends to be under, but they do pretend to be barely-18.
Jess Asato, the Labour MP for Lowestoft, said: ‘After many years of campaigning to ensure online pornographic content is subject to the same rules as offline content,
When the fuck was under-18 porn ever legal? WTF? Also, isn't the age of consent in the UK 16 years old?
What the fuck is the point of this? Why the fuck is it needed? Who is it helping? What is it fixing? NOTHING.
Fucking jokers... Go tax the billionaires and fix the NHS and the cost of the living crisis you cunts .
The thing is they really don't have grounds to ban "step" porn, but this will make their supporters think "he is going after them gross porn people" while downloading a VPN. It might have a chilling effect on porn producers, for a few minutes, but unless your porn had an actor explicitly state "I'm under 18" you are probably ok. I know this is UK based but the whole point of the law " act cool for my voters" is pretty universal.
Labour not burning piles of political capital on ridiculous pet issues challenge (impossible, any%):
As always, the first computers you should check when anyone tries to ban consensual porn that harms no one, are the computers of the ones proposing the ban.
If that’s what it takes to finally temper the step porn category then so be it. /s
Oi bruv where's yer wanking loicense?!
This is nothing to do with actual child abuse or real incest porn, and they know it, this is the next step in their war against VPNs and those circumventing their internet "age" real ID checks.
This will give them what will be an ever expanding big stick to clamp down on anybody they cant force to use their ID checking system, anybody using smaller providers (VPN or Porn) to avoid the checks will be suspect of criminal activity and will have equipment seized.
The first step was to push the larger providers to comply or get out, the next step is to start to tackle the smaller providers and consumers who at least want to try to stay legal.
Its never about 100% success with clamping down, its about getting the majority to comply and having useful tools to deal with those who do not, especially as they now stand out far more.
abhorrent step incest porn, sure ban it, but what about good or hot step incest porn? We all know what that is when we see it, right?
And if they want to add a prison scene to the end of thos step incest porn films those pornos then fine. Sounds pervy to me, but I dont judge what other people do in their bedrooms alone that doesnt hurt anyone because thats none of my fucking business, or anyone elses. People (and governments) should just leave other people alone unless it directly affects others.
Starmer seems like a moron with this move.
Step-incest pornography and that which depicts performers as children is abhorrent.
Alongside banning strangulation in pornography which the government previously announced, tackling this vile content will make our country a safer place for women and children and shows the UK can lead the world in tackling violence against women and girls
That's it folks, step incest is violence against women and girls. Next up, in order to further protect them, they'll be prohibited from going outside without a man by their side.
Whoever asked "What's next, BDSM?" - guess what
The government has already made porn that shows women being choked illegal, after a review found videos like these had helped normalise it in real life.
The only silver lining in this whole thing is still only in "planning"
Ministers are also planning to make tech bosses personally liable if their platforms do not remove intimate pictures of people that are posted without consent.

Uh-oh. Some MPs are about to get a call from their uhm... tech bosses.

Haha, a lot of women I know are gonna be pissed about this...
Abhorrent ? I would at best call it "annoying" because all porn sites are flooded with it, but abhorrent ? It's legal to actually do in most countries, INCLUDING the UK 😅
When banging your step mum is legal but watching a fictional video of someone else banging their step mum is illegal 🤪 welcome to the UK ladies and gentlemen.
Its like all the porn, sometimes the star is who ya want to see who is even following the plot or title?
This is the hill they die on? This is the issue they threaten to revolt for? Not properly funding the NHS or something else that benefits people?
The most interesting thing about this is the fact that step siblings can have legal relationships and even marry under UK law, but depictions of their very legal sex lives are now illegal.
I think someone might challenge this as a human right to expression infringement.
For instance, you and your partner happen to be step siblings, but want to generate income on onlyfans. Now you can't. Not because you are defacto doing anything illegal.
Also, and here's where it gets fun...
Imagine you and your partner do make sexy videos but then your respective parents hook up.
The videos were made when you were not step siblings, but now you are.
Where does the law stand there? No one knows.
I wonder what genre they'll do next?
lesbian porn? probalby trans porn next.
Starmer is a knobhead shooting the Labour party and voters in both feet. He's currently attempting to mimick Reform and Greens to win back votes.
Seriously of all the porn kink that can exist why is the one about fucking your family the most popular in certain countries? It's just Your relatives are basically the only person you shouldn't fuck, why them, that just seems gross and mentally unhealthy.
Your relatives are basically the only person you shouldn't fuck
Isn't that the explanation you're looking for?

Step incest is a non-thing. It cannot be incest if you're not closely related. You could call it sleeping with someone who lives in the same house perhaps, or screwing people who used to be strangers, or boinking those who are related to someone that married into your family, but that's all.
The only porn allowed in 10 years will be of people getting fucked by the government
Actors. They’re paid actors. It’s fake.
But movies full of violence, gore and high bodycount are just fine.
MPs, of all people, have no fuckin right to act all holy about porn. They are depraved weirdos, the whole scabby bunch.
Just reminded me of this incident - it's a Tory, not labour, and many will be too young to remember, but I recall it being funny as fuck. The article neglects to mention that he was hanging in a cupboard and also had an orange full of poppers in his gob.

There are many, many more recent stories of debauchery amongst the bunch of wankers who rule over us, but I felt this one exemplifies the lot
Banning porn where the actors pretend that what they're doing is almost illegal is wild. What's next, prison time if they say that one of the participants is just over the age of consent?
I don't really get this. If the characters in the production are adults and not blood related how is it different than roommate porn?
