I suppose the real problem is this "Do we need An Ofcom" at all

it's a bit of a dinosaur leftover from the old Nanny State that used to exit pre 11th May 2010

I doubt many people took much notice if it - in my own household when the kids were <18 I and the wife decided what was suitable for viewing

In the new 'Burn the Quangos' world I guess the government will shortly abolish it

other civilised Western Countries dont need An OFCOM - it's enough to put warning triangles up top-right-of-screen and have full proram information

bit like the BBFC - just give us the program info and the decision can be made in the home where it should be - locally
