Beyer pines for the good old days
Providing his customary rent-a-quote for the Telegraph, “Massah” John Beyer of Mediawatch-UK expressed his disappointment that only 3 out of every 100 films submitted to the British Board of Film Classification were subject to cuts.
It is a free for all. Films should be classified by a body which is not linked to the industry.
The Obscene Publications Act, which is supposed to underpin the system of classification, hasn’t worked for years and the people in charge of the board believe they can proceed without fear of recourse.
Beyer is on record as advocating that viewers of pornography should be locked up in prison.
It beggars belief that the BBFC are permitting adults to make informed decisions about what they choose to watch,
he did not add.
Oh for petes sake, only to him would this new be bad
Tell you what lets lock up the people who do not view pornography. It certainly won’t fill all the prisons up as there can’t be *that* many people who do not look at porn. It will also, in one swoop, get rid of all the sanctimonious windbags who think they can stop everyone doing ‘normal’ stuff and make them conform to thier own wierd, perverted, un-naturally puritan and sexless ways.
‘It beggars belief that the BBFC are permitting adults to make informed decisions about what they choose to watch,’
Fantastic! This is my official idiot-quote for the day!
Hate to point it out Pinchbeck, but there was a “he did not add” after that quote.
Yeah but Beyer does not believe we should be permitted to choose what we watch.
He wants an all powerful censor with views the same as him and mediawatch-uk to decide that for us!
Ah, dammit!!
But there was such a ring of truth to it…
