It is NOT aimed at consensual S and M in nice British middle class households - they had enough trouble with that over Spanner. do you think the UK govt really wants another embarrassing ECHR case?
The SMers in the Spanner case took their case to the highest authority possible and lost. Consensual S & M is, with the ECHR's blessing, a potentially criminal activity in the UK. I don't find that especially reassuring.
