Fuckin nasty ,wonder what'll happen if he's found not guilty of the charge? will he get his council seat back ?That is really foul and nasty. The Lib Dems have really excelled themselves.
Maybe some emails to TerryCurtis@LambethLibDems.org.uk would be in order.

The reverse of the flyer has his photos and contact details. It somehow seems improbable that he knew nothing of it.
Now, and bearing in mind these are allegations, a couple of questions:
1. Are they talking about his work or personal PC - if it's the former it could be nothing more than bog standard porn
2. Doesn't the term 'indecent images' now also apply to things like BDSM/emetophilia/coprophilia etc? I'm pretty sure that there were lots of BDSM peeps getting stressy about the broad definition of 'indecent image' when the current law was made it basically covered anything that wasn't 'vanilla' sexual activity.
Got this lovely circular through the letterbox this morning, from the Liberal Democrats.
No mud-slinging going on here, then!

Appears legislation on child porn was Mary Whitehouse campaign. Interesting that if age is in doubt it is down to experts to decide from photo. So someone acting younger might be seen as someone underage.
Also there is something called a "pseudophoto" .Not an image of a real person but one made up by computer graphics. So u can be done for the image from someones imagination not involving real persons. This raises a whole load of questions about civil liberties.
The "Spanner Case" a while back was about consenting BDSM people who had filmed there activities.
I guess that the Police concentrate on "Child porn" as its responding to public and media.
I would have thought consenting adults putting up BDSM on the web may be in a grey area. Its like smoking dope. The police have better things to do than chase u. But if they put there mind to it or the government has a moral panic about it then u might have a problem.
Its an interesting area of civil liberties.
If anyone has any leaflets through I'd reall appreciate it if you could add them here: http://www.thestraightchoice.org/
teuchter do you still have that charming example?
Is that your project? It's a good idea.
I still have the flyer at home - can scan it for you if you'd like.
Indeed.
So the Tory candidate is an "Iraq War Hero".
Ha ha! I just opened my letter box and found this in it and was fairly certain that there would be a decent amount of comment on here already. Absolutely outrageous.
I received a mail from the Labour party last week or the week before which I thought was pretty mud slingy and petty (in the way that these things typically are) and thought that given the circumstances of the re-election they were being a little gung ho. I also thought that the Lib Dems were maintaining the moral high ground by not exploiting the matter. How wrong. Sleazy, bigotted and lacking in intelligence. The level at which these individuals operate is quite astounding.
I really hope that no campaigners from any of the parties come knocking on my door. I will be sending an email too.
I am a little surprised that Labour have put forward an Abbeville Village candidate. Shouldn't make any difference really but it leaves them open to accusations of being very detached. One of my favourite quotes which comes up on a Yorkshire blog when Googling Ruth Ling is "...sadly I have been exiled in London for many years." Hmmm. Doesn't sound very passionate about her home. Surely there must be a quality candidate within the ward itself? Or maybe anyone decent has been put off from standing by the low personal standards of those already involved.
Eh? I imagine they concentrate on child porn because of the child victims! A totally different issue from consenting adults.

In fairness, whilst that leaflet was distasteful and naughty, I don't think quoting what newspapers have printed without comment is worthy of over-reaction. Were there complaints when the papers said it in the first place ? I doubt it.
Missing the point; we've come to expect our newspapers to be full of shit, but it's depressing when the major political parties join in with this.
What is the point of this mud-slinging? To suggest that Lambeth Labour are all paedophiles? It's absurd; and hasn't even been proved in the case of Toren Smith.
Mind you, Lambeth Labour party are so happy to play this game themselves that they deserve all the retaliation they get, but it's deeply depressing trying to work out who to vote for in Lambeth now.

Tulse Hill shouldn't be seen as a shoe-in for rejected Labour councillors looking for a safe berth.
I can't find anything in these leaflets that alleges that "Lambeth Labour are all paedophiles".
This Lib Dem material, while rather tabloid in tone, seems to me fairly innocuous, given that it is simply quoting what has already been in local papers, the Evening Standard and on the BBC web site. The back page makes the valid point that the Labour candidate claims to "live locally" but in fact lives in fashionable Abbeville Road, Clapham where she was a councillor for many years but got booted out in May - in contrast with the Lib Dem candidate who has lived in Tulse Hill for 50 years, and is an active local campaigner and community activist. Tulse Hill shouldn't be seen as a shoe-in for rejected Labour councillors looking for a safe berth.
