It's a pretty crappy story, given nothing has been announced yet (I assume someone leaked something to the Metro in an attempt to get a good PR boost at the start of the week). I would say it is highly unlikely that whatever legislation does get passed would make simulated rape images illegal to possess (in fact, I'd say it's not going to happen). It won't be the first - or last - time that a Prime Minister has announced some fundamentally stupid piece of proposed legislation that will never get passed, and simply is used to get some press. Cameron's government has a history of particularly stupid proposals regarding the internet and the like that never made it to fruition. What will almost certainly happen is that possession images of actual rape will be made illegal. I suspect many people consider the latter to be somewhat different to the former (and if you don't, maybe you should stop and think about that).
