Christian Concern issues two Action Alerts
Christian Concern which monitors legislation and its impact on moral issues in the UK highlighted two areas of concern this week.
Action Alert: Support campaign to stop internet pornography at source
On 7 February 2011 Culture Minister Ed Vaizey MP has a meeting with Internet Service Providers regarding the better regulation of internet pornography. Ed Vaizey will be asking the ISPs to block such material at source, to keep it off computers. This would entail switching the default setting for ‘adult’ content into our homes to ‘off’, and implementing an ‘opt-in’ system.
Please can you support this by e-mailing Ed Vaizey and letting him know that he has your support.
For further information and a suggested e-mail please see Christian Concern’s website – address below.
You can e-mail Ed Vaizey at: vaizeye@parliament.uk
Action Alert: Stop the harmful programme ‘The Joy of Teen Sex’
A series called ‘The Joy of Teen Sex’ are being shown by Channel 4 which encourage sexual promiscuity amongst teenagers.
The programmes contain sexually explicit scenes and celebrate promiscuity. Teenagers speak of their sex lives and are encouraged by the adults in the programme. There is no mention of moral responsibility. Three of the four programmes have already been shown.
Please write and make your views known to:
• Your local MP (an MP database can be found here).
• The Chief Executive of Channel 4, David Abraham at PO BOX 1058, Belfast BT1 9DU.
• OFCOM, Riverside House, 2a Southwark Bridge Road, London, SE1 9HA.
