NEXT DOOR NIGHTMARES May 9 2003
.. and up above, below and across the street

Pervy Pete's no innocent PETE TOWNSHEND only gets an official caution for accessing kiddie porn.

Apparently, there are so many thousands in this country doing the same that the courts would be unable to prosecute them all.

Townshend's excuse is that he was researching the subject as part of his campaign against child pornography.

Gosh, how public-spirited of him and all those other "researchers" who, of course, didn't just happen on these sites, but had to pay filthy lucre to enter them.

However, let's stop calling the trade porn.

Porn is girls getting their bits out for the lads. It may not be particularly nice and sometimes it is downright nasty, but it's by adults for adults.

What Townshend and his pervy chums were "researching" is something much, much worse. They are paying to watch the sexual use, abuse and degradation of little children.

So let's not call it porn, but what it is - paedophilia.

The fact that it is by proxy makes it no better.

Because sometime, somewhere, it really did happen to some innocent child.
