Ofcom Discussion

Yet they allow the abuse of their system to continue, which makes them as guilty and ridiculous as the complainers.

Ofcom have said before it doesnt matter if the complaint comes from a rival, what matters is if it is valid. Bit like a traffic warden handing out parking tickets based on tips from a rival minicab firm. Except parking rules are abolutes and dont get ramped up because half a dozen people complain.

Its really like turkeys voting for Christmas at times.

Worryingly a wuick look (wuick? quick) at todays Repression Newsletter reveals half a dozen complaints against babe channels classified Protection Of Under 18s. That might mean day shows.

It is no comfort that the complaints were rejected, someone is launching a bunch of complaints and these could just be start of another campaign. Give it time and Ofcom will let some through or the complainer will find a combination of circumstances and magic words that pushes buttons.
