Her justification was ( and 20 years later I am paraphrasing) : " General population does not have the level of intelect and education as BFI members to be able to separate art from reality" . In other words " fuck the lumpenproletariat".

So whose side are you on?
The side of the industry. Free porn has ruined the porn industry and any measures to restrict are great in my opinion.

As for the last bit about access to porn by the masses. That is an old thing to be going on about. In the trial of Lady Chatterley's Lover, the judge said on October 21, 1960. “Is it a book that you would even wish your wife or your servants to read?” The question put to the jury by Crown prosecutor Mervyn Griffiths-Jones became a classic statement of sexism and snobbery in the judiciary.
