"Censorship of free expression can be reconciled by making it a criminal offence to commit obscene pornography through the medium of publication or broadcasting by deeming the display of pornography offensive, shocking and disturbing to any sector of society as qualified in Article 10(2).1, assuming that society is characterised by pluralism, tolerance and broad-mindedness. Cases such as Handyside v UK2 and Hoare v UK3 are analysed and discussed in the light of the UK's HRA 1998 to illustrate that the HRA 1998 does not make much of an impact. Pornography and the present relevant UK laws are discussed - the UK Obscene Publications Act, Broadcasting Act and Cinemas Act. The issue of Child Pornography is explored to illustrate that there must be a line drawn at Freedom of Expression, as qualified in Article 10(2) of the UK Human Rights Act.
