! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.
The European Federation is trying to get its grubby mits on our TV and newspapers.
The EU Culture and Education Committee is trying to introduce a directive that will limit advertising on commercial TV to one slot every 45 minutes and and ban all advertising in childrens TV, current affairs programmes, news, documentaries and cultural programming.
These restrictions would bankrupt many small stations and for those stations that survive, commercial programming in Europe would be unviable The net result? The only viable stations will be state-controlled and state-funded.
The resolution is supported by a large coalition including the British Labour, Lib Dem and Green Parties with opposition from the Conservatives and UKIP.
