I beg to differ, it's *everything* to do with politics, or rather, votes.

If The Powers That Be dare to even *think* about relaxing the censorship rules in this country the right wing media and politicos will immediately leap up and down and scream that they're contributing to the moral decline of our Great Nation etc etc etc.

They will follow this up by claiming that anyone who agrees with this or votes for anyone who agrees with it is, therefore a corrupt deviant who is going to turn this last bastion of moral purity into a den of sleazy iniquity where our poor innocent little children will be unable to go out or even watch TV without being faced with a barrage of corruption and filth...

(There will then be a brief pause as they wipe the froth from their mouths...)

maybe they should bring out an new channel that doesn't have censorship and see how popular it is,
Unfortunately that won't happen because our Thought Police will come down on them like a ton of bricks and sieze all their methods of production, computer equipment, paperwork etc "to check it's not breaking the law" and by the time it gets returned the company would have gone bust.

Let's hear it for democratic freedoms....!

Cheers,
