Well I was at work at the time but during my lunch, I was listening to the part when the PM said that there were complaints from itv bbc and others about Ofcom getting to big and to powerful since they took over from there predecessors which was the ITC.
Now the PM mentioned that he wanted to deregulate Ofcom in so many words

Some here have castigated him for going back on his promise however, far be it from me to stick up for this dreadful government, but he did say quite specifically that its over-all regulation of the industry was to be the power that it would lose, but that it would retain its responsibility for monitoring television content.

Ofcom also has a serious mistrust of the parents/guardians the right to protect their children. Despite all the safety measures currently in place Ofcom still want to control what they deem what is suitable and unsuitable viewing.

Agreed this country has turned out to be far too much PC. Now if people think I am well wide of the mark then here is just an example of the the International SKY EPG Channels available with TV5 Monde being the exception as the only European channel available. Where are all the dozens of German, French, Polish, Spanish channels etc.

I am not for one minute blaming these groups but they do have a certain amount of people who will knowingly complain to Ofcom about content that offends them which Ofcom will pander to far too quickly rather than defending the British values and way of life because it offends their moral puritanical ways of thinking.

The right to be offended is exactly what democracy brings with it. I ofcourse don't give a damn what is broadcast on the Religious or Asian Channels because I don't watch them. They serve me no purpose in the same manner that an Adult orientated channel should serve them no purpose either.

Why then despite all this Ofcom still feel it necessary to throw their weight around when it comes to the Adult section of the EPG. Why is the vagina deemed so offensive that not even those who are watching the channels are allowed to view it. We can't even see a decent girl on girl show either.

I also accept that the UK isn't the only country is Europe that caters for an ethnic minority, as having visited Germany last year they also have the same influx that this country has, the only exception being is that they haven't turned into the PC country which the United Kingdom has turned into.

Some people like to refer to this country as Great Britain but the great was lost a very long time ago

YES my argument all along,,why is the vagina offensive..What grounds do they have to ban the vagina..They allow everything else on UK tv except a vagina..Its so taboo and rape is on the up and i always accuse ofcom in promoting rape witheir sexist fucking attitudes every time i write..My goodness twitter went mad when they showed that penis on Embarrassing Illnesses,the man stood up pulled his pants down pulled backed his foreskin and had camera shot right down his urethra at 8.05pm..Other vagina that night consisted of 2 uploaded photos..17 complaints were made but utter disgust at channel 4 indecency before the watershed was rife round my neck of woods and twitter..It would have been explicit after the watershed...Ofcom does what it always does and shoves complaints under the carpet..

So oftwats what do you 800 staff with 67K salaries and upwards do 40hrs every week to earn that extortionate amount when everywhere else is been shutdown..I fucking hate the c@nting lot of them and they all shuold be up for fraud for FIDDLING THE FIGURES..Fraud is taken very,very seriously and ed richtwat should be in prison for fiddling and lying at what expenses it saves the government when they are all LIES..

Have written to Graham Howell to make a complaint against ofcom as he is the bloke to write to to do this...No reply yet so going to see whats next and i think its court of human rights.This sexist act has gone on for to fucking long..Ofcom need to have a valid anser as to why the most harmful thing in existance is female genatalia..
