The BCI are running a consultation with the public on program standards that will apply to all radio and television broadcasters licensed in the State. Their advertising campaign blurb is that 'it's not censorship if you decide'. In my opinion its still censorship when one group of people decides what others can watch. However i have decided for myself that right now the best way to ensure that things don't get too draconian is to take part. If the only people who take part are some secret Mary Whitehouse fanclub then things could get very boring.
