Mary Whitehouse would meet with high police figures to discuss campaigns to ban them. Obscene publication squad - police squad.
Had natural allies in right wing newspapers
'Rape of our children's minds' - daily mail newspaper article title. Propaganda videos and press to turn minds
All very Christian views, hated these demonic and satan possessive films
Video nasties were used as scrape goats for all crimes. "Experts link street riots and child abuse to diet of filth fed to our young" - daily
mail.
Videos started to get incinerate
47 children replied ( 6 year olds ) 3 said they had seen these video nasties. They had seen 17 films between them. This equated to 40% it then became front pages news "sadism for 6 year olds" - daily mail
2/3rds of children in Birmingham claimed to have seen films that don't even exist
We're not worried about intellects, as members of Parliament started to defend them.
Shop keepers were getting fined
Started to arrest shop keepers and distributors for seeking video nasties, but shop keepers didn't know what they could and couldn't sell. Distributors were taken to court at the old Bailey
Judges were bias as they two were against video nasties
