Facesitting

Presumably that means YouTube will have to be prosecuted for the Benny Hill clip - see 1 min 43 sec - which is currently available without any restrictions. Not the most PC example, but what a turnaround, from family TV to illegal even in private.

Eccles I'm sensing with the tone of your post that your not holding out for much optimism with the appointment of Sharon White. Sure she may well be a devoted and committed Christian, however you'd be surprised just how many of those church goers don't mind a bit of porn now and again or would happily tolerate it just so long that it was out of reach to the minors and the mandatory pin protection when it's on the likes of SKY is in place. I know a few.

We have pin protection aswell as various other methods such as turning the channels off completely currently in place. Now may be the time for the likes of Babestation and co to once again argue their case under a new regime.

Also what's surprising is that over the shores in Germany the political party currently in power is very aptly named the Christian Democrats with a women as chancellor. All of which you'd think would set the tone for that country when it came to porn but Germany has one of the most relaxed rules in the world when it comes to late night entertainment aswell as hardcore porn whether it be for sale in the shops or on the telly.

Just goes to show that being of a religous mindset doesn't always pan out the way you'd expect. Infact I don't recall Ed Richards being much into religion, yet he was the biggest cunt when it came to censoring them.

I would love to be proved wrong.

Also found something which might explain why someone would make the jump from The Treasury to an independent regulator outside the financial sector:

Quote:At the Treasury she worked closely with the Culture Secretary Sajid Javid, who was Financial Secretary before he was promoted to the Cabinet in April.
Telegraph

Ed Richards, who worked closely with the minister responsible for setting up Ofcom has been replaced by a civil servant who worked closely with the minister now responsible for overseeing Ofcom.

I assume her reason for moving is partly financial. To my knowledge no Civil Service job pays anything like Ofcon's £275k a year!!

Cynical. The career path for (first) Permanent Secretaries is retire at 60 with a knighthood, wait a few months and get a couple of non exec directorships with FTSE 100 companies at £100k for a few days a month. Having run a mega million £ organisation with thousands of staff helps, as does a host of high level political contacts.

On the other hand £275k is peanuts for a senior exec by industry standards, which may explain the lack of candidates with senior level industry experience.

Oop North where I live £275k is a huge salary. Could easily buy a 4 bed detached house and matching 3 series BMW for that.....being a Civil Servant she has probably lived off her expense account for years and has a decent wedge in her offshore accout....

Quite. Civil Service may not be paid top dollar but the rest of it is cushy. Hours are typically 10-4 and massive holidays and 'sickness'. Gold plated index-linked pensions, knighthoods, expenses blah blah blah...

RE: Ofcom Discussion - SCIROCCO - 18-12-2014 23:34

Senior Civil Servants do well enough to play Golf at Sunningdale, hold memberships of London's finest clubs and get kitted out at Savile Row and Burlington Arcade. And end up in The Lords on another expense funded "career".......

Tis the season of goodwill, so lets be positive. Sharon White has 28 years of doing what ministers tell her, but on the positive side she has 28 years of working in an organisation that prides itself in being politically neutral, following the rules and doing what is right, even if that means occasionally saying No to ministers*. And there will be far more of a focus on market regulation of telecoms, internet and post than a handful of TV channels.

(* The same could have been said about Colette Bowe when as chief press officer at the DTI she selectively leaked parts of the Attorney Generals confidential legal advise about Westland, showing dear old Leon Brittan in a good light and Michael Heseltine in a bad one, but lets gloss over that. She was only 40 at the time.)

Eccles just think if the top job at Ofcom goes tits up for Sharon White she could always get her tits out instead on Golden Girls TV Big Laugh

I'm sure she probably has a nice rack.........Bounce
