Now the government are doing a consultation on how they do consultations!

I think I might put in something on this and say some pointy words about how blatantly biased that "consultation" (a.k.a. propaganda exercise) was on the possession of "extreme" porn.

Deadline is 28 September.

Yep, but it's not exactly the first time there's been a 'tell us just how right we are' consultation - the prostitution one in 2004 picked the evidence to fit the foregone conclusion, for example.

There have also been some interesting ones - the one that ended up framing the Sexual Offences Act 2003 felt genuine, even if they did exclude some relevant areas (prostitution and BDSM).
