He left Parliament the following year.

1947

Blackburn's political career, which began promisingly with his maiden speech being praised by Winston Churchill, was blighted by his alcoholism with the first of a series of arrests for drunkenness coming in 1947.

1952

Falling into further legal difficulties Blackburn was declared bankrupt in 1952 and imprisoned in 1956 for fraud regarding the illegal use of a caravan site, and for unlawfully inducing people to buy shares in a worthless company.

He served 16 months in prison.

This was his only marriage to not produce children.

1959

He publicly acknowledged his drink problem and even wrote a 1959 book discussing how alcohol had ruined his career.

After disappearing from the public view for a time Blackburn returned as a moral crusader, working closely with anti-pornography campaigner Lord Longford.

His other campaigns included a failed drive against gambling and attempts to prosecute the films Mera ur kärlekens språk and Language of Love for gross indecency, the former successfully, the latter unsuccessfully.

Although Mera ur kärlekens språk was the sequel of Language of Love Blackburn opted to prosecute the later film first.

His third and final marriage was to Tessa Hume in 1959.

1963

Blackburn petitioned the court for a writ in regards to the Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Act 1963.

The case was described as follows: "A and B are alleged to have committed a crime. A is charged with the crime, convicted and sentenced. B is not charged. At the trial of A there is evidence which suggests that B may have committed or been a participant to the crime. Can the prosecution be compelled to prosecute B?"

1968

In 1968, the Divisional Court of Queen's Bench consisting of Lord Widgery C.J., Stevenson and Brabin JJ, decided that "to prosecute must indisputably be a matter of discretion."

The original Blackburn case in the 1968 Court of Queen's Bench dealt with Blackburn's allegations of a London illegal gambling establishment, whereas in Autumn 1972 the adjudication was in the Court of Appeal of Lord Denning, MR.

1972

Blackburn also took part in a number of prominent legal challenges of major constitutional significance, including R v Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, ex parte Blackburn, on illegal gambling and the duties of the police, and Blackburn v Attorney-General, on the constitutionality of the European Communities Act 1972.

The judgment was affirmed by the Court of Appeal in autumn of 1972.

In 1972, he decided to pursue this matter into the Court of Appeal, which confirmed the 1968 judgment, in a separate matter of enforcement against the British Board of Film Censors and a cinema of the pornography laws then extant.
