Cameron posturing over porn

Headlines like "Prime Minister to Act on Porn Video" were inevitable when this silly-season story broke. Experts such as Jim Gamble have asserted that paedophiles will laugh at Cameron's attempted crackdown and hinted that it is being used as a cover for real cuts in spending on child protection. Jim Gamble is former chief executive of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection centre. Last year the Police Federation warned that cuts to this service would place more children at risk.

On the one hand Cameron talks tough on child porn. On the other hand the cuts make it inevitable that more children will suffer.

Perhaps he should act on porn videos. He would be doing less harm.
