Anyway, the point is Ken that you broke the law for doing things which are still highly taboo by society's norms and of course the sentencing guidelines are quite clear to any judge in this area. When you consider the disgust and horror people feel when they hear on the news about what has been happening in nurseries in various parts of the country is it any surprise that the BBC is being ultra cautious when airing re-runs of Top of the Pops or devising questions for Mastermind? You have to accept that what you did was wrong and move on.
I wonder how you gauge that people feel "disgust and horror" when someone appears on the teve ?
apart from when the tabloids tell you to.  |

Censorship does need to exist where sensitive issues are concerned
Why?
What exactly do you mean by sensitive?
Who decides what is sensitive and to whom?
How sensitive does something have to be to need censorship? |

Ah but A155 - firstly I am not guilty of my convictions (yes, sometimes the system does get it wrong). Secondly, even if I were, is it any reason to rewrite history? Or do you approve of such censorship? Be careful how you answer; it's the thin end of a very dangerous wedge.
Censorship does need to exist where sensitive issues are concerned and until a final decision has been reached on appeal you'll just have to accept it as a given. Of course it is entirely possible that the Mastermind question writers genuinely forgot all about you. After all you didn't write Genesis's songs for them did you or, given that they weren't a covers band, sing vocals or play bassoon on their records.  |

Yes Mastermind should have JK onto the show. Can you imagine the ratings once the SUN gets hold of the story - probably double them !!! |
