OK, how about enough of this vagueness. What is it you know exactly and why your strong defence of ofcom?

You would all be in shit if you moaned about the police as all they are enforcing is the law.

The evidence proves that they are breaking the law to some extent, but like others have said, nobody is going to challenge them, because the topic of the babe channels is too embarrassing to make public.

read my signature.
it's not completely different, as the police are there to enforce rules as are ofcom. Ofcom aren't actually breaking the law as parliament can bloke and see any rules they produce and they can force them to change them.
I have worked for ofcom and know people that do work for ofcom.
Can someone please tell me exactly how ofcom are breaking the law, with what rules and how you see it?
