WESTWOOD’S SON TO PROTEST PORN CRACKDOWN
Fashion queen VIVIENNE WESTWOOD’s photographer son BEN is to lead a chain gang of bound and gagged models and activists through London next week (beg20Oct08) to protest new British anti-pornography laws that will be introduced in January (08).
Such a protest will be deemed illegal from the beginning of 2009 when the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill becomes law and images like this are classified as extreme pornography - even though all participants are consenting adults.
The Consenting Adult Action Network (CAAN), which has organised the protest, argues the new government legislation restricts the sexual choices of adults.
And photographer Westwood says, "Government gets away with murder when it comes to legislating about our sexual behaviour, because we are a strait-laced nation and far too many of us are embarrassed talking about sex." The provocative demonstration takes place on Tuesday (21Oct08).
