Complaints received between: Tuesday 11 September 2012 to Monday 17 September 2012

Citizen Khan, BBC 1, Monday, 10 September, 2012 : 11
STV News at Six, STV, Friday, 14 September, 2012 : 11

No massive public outrage caused by semi naked young women then. No, the worst offenders, judged on complaints - the only thing that matters when it comes to offence - are a BBC sitcom and an independent news channel accused of political bias.

Not sure how accurate the following is, it may be humour?

BBC News Scotlandshire (sic) Wrote:Scottish Television Executives could face stiff fines and possible prison sentences after failing to adequately report the booing of the First Minister Alex Salmond at Friday's Olympic homecoming parade in Glasgow's George Square.

Hundreds of complaints have been made to OfCom by furious members of the "Better Together" campaign after STV news chose to ignore the booing and reported, instead, on the return of the athletes to their home country.

If only that were true. Ofcom decided they don't want naked women for fun, then had to work out an excuse to ban them. I have seen the proof. Rules were tight when they were classified as editorial too.

Im not overly worried by one MP wanting to ban page 3, there are always a few. I dont think George Galloway's views are typical either. Travelling round today I passed a 5 foot high electronic advert for Marks and Spencer featuring two life size women wearing just bra and pants. Any child could have seen that before 10pm. There were also two women in full burkas with just narrow eyeslits. Dont get me started about womens rights, just dont.

As for religion this lass was asked to remove her cross necklace because it could offend other faiths yet the laases were allowed to wear burkas in same class as to not offend,,this was here in England 4 -5 years ago bloody double standards..So Uk scared of offending other religeons when its OUR country and Vaginas.
