Watching 'banned in the 80's' on iPlayer
I'd forgotten how wonderfully fucking subversive Frankie Goes to Hollywood were.

So Mick Jagger went on THE DAVID FROST SHOW to debate Mary Whitehouse to defend his right to have a kid with Marianne Faithful without marrying her. And you're seriously telling me that there's NO VIDEO of this on the Internet? Goddammit, I want to see this. Seems strangely timely.

I hear this Smyth predator was Mary Whitehouse's lawyer, and of course she never saw a thing, like White Women Conservatives never do....

John Smyth victim says abuse left him with 'PTSD and mental health problems'

As I said in a reply earlier, my immediate question on learning about John Smyth (which I hadn't heard about at all even though the thing has apparently been rumbling on for the past several years) is:

Did Mary Whitehouse know?

It shocked me. I had not heard about any of this until now.

Anybody following UK news at the moment will know that the Church of England's Archbishop of Canterbury is under pressure to resign following a report describing church inaction over John Smyth's years of sadistic child abuse.

This scandal, however, should not be considered as
solely of concern to the Church of England. As this article makes clear, Smyth was a major figure in the 1970s crusade by British social conservatives against "the permissive society", a crusade which helped prepare the way for the triumph of Margaret Thatcher and her melding of "Victorian values" with militant neoliberalism.

Smyth's story is more than the history of one depraved individual. It calls for further investigation into his shielding and consideration of the ideological roots of rightwingers' readiness to close their eyes to such horrors.

John Smyth: the go-to barrister for Mary Whitehouse

Smyth won blasphemy case against Gay News and initially took on prosecution of the Nationalโ€™s production of The Romans in Britain

The Guardian

@micheleann In the Monty Python 'Election Night' sketch, a parody of television news election coverage from 1970, John Cleese, playing a news anchor, announces that 'Mary Whitehouse has taken Umbrage', with 'Umbrage' sounding like 'Umbridge', which could be understood as a British town name that could conceivably have been the name of a parliamentary constituency.

(Mary Whitehouse was a well-known anti-obscenity activist of the era.)
