Stop the Government's
Censorship

The Home Office has begun a process to make it illegal to possess extreme adult images.

These plans could lead to people being imprisoned for viewing images on the internet.

This is a step too far from a government determined to regulate every aspect of our lives and quash individual expression.

Stitched Up by C4

This is a letter Dr Tuppy Owens sent radarTV to complain about how she was presented in their mention of the Home Office proposals

The RadarTV programme "The Real Animal Farm", the last in the Darker Side of Sex series, featured myself.

I was stiched up.

1. I was labelled a pornographer - which I am not. I am a retired woman who works voluntarily full time as a charity coordinator. Being labelled a pornographer will hardly do much to help the charity with our funding and credibility. I feel sure that when asked how I wished to be labelled, I would have said "Campaigner".

2. My quotes were used out of context to make me to appear to be a bestiality porn smuggler. This I have never been.

3. The infamous Julie Bindel, renouned for unreliable research and misinformation about matters sexual, was given more time to put forward her anti-sex propaganda than I was given to explain my views against censorship - and how can "films of dead women rotting in graves" be of relevance since this would be illegal and immediately investigated by the police?

The above leads me to the conclusion that this "documentary" was a propaganda programme instigated by the Home Office and/or Labour Party lickspittles within C4 to persuade the public that the proposed "Extreme Pornography" legislation should become law.

I know that the BDSM community is up in arms about the S/M programme in the Darker Side of Sex series, and the programme about "Snuff" movies was intentionally confusing to make the public nervous.

As a spokesperson of the Sexual Freedom Coalition who is constantly being asked to contribute to and help with TV programmes, I shall in future be uncooperative unless they can prove that the documentary is not government propaganda.

I advise others to do likewise.

Dr Tuppy Owens

It may also be worth noting that there have been many complaints about the recent programming and anyone who wants to make a complaint can call Director of Production, a Mr Tim Breadin (pronounced breed-in) who is dealing with this and discussing it with the director of the actual program.
