They should be out of the country now and if not, why not? They do not qualify to be on British soil at all.

Thanks God! At last it seems like British Justice System is awaking up and catching up for the freedom of speech, thought and expression. UK is slowly becoming like any Banana Republics of Africa for the freedoms which have been achieved within the last century and are in seriously question abel position. This country will never go down if justice system is awake and working.

This once great nation is committing suicide. God help us.

To Peter of Twickenham
If it isn't possible already, it will be soon. Think of what can be done in computer animation in Toy Story, Shrek, Harry Potter, Lord of the Ring...

Steve, Paris,

Oh, come on folks, these young British men were obviously doing some preparatory research before emailing a robust, typically British protest to the producers of this anti-British terrorist propaganda. Who knows, but these same young British men were probably restrained, under protest, by their parents from joining our British army in support of our young men and women putting their lives on the line on their behalf.

Theo Nelson, South Hams,

Why should law be interpreted by people who seemingly have no connection with reality.
It begars belief that this situation is happening, and one wonders how anti terrorism will function if in fact it becomes impossible to convict .

What about guns and explosives? Just because you have a box of Semtex buried in your garden doesn't mean you are going to use it. You could have acquired it legally, in Syria or Iran or the Gaza Strip.

This is a reply to Mr Steve of Paris. Before drawing a comparison please think about the issue you wish to raise. Ask yourself whether it is possible to produce the pictures without making children posing in front of the camera?

Imagine if someone was caught with racist literature and propaganda. would the 'human rights' lawyers be so supportive of them?

What about pedophilia? Say photoshop produced pictures so that no crime was committed in producing them? Or produced in a hypothetical country where they are legal. Will the possession of such artifacts become legal as well?
That must also be part of the freedom of thought, mustn't it?
