We need to advocate strongly for an independent audit of Ofcom's regulatory practices by the National Audit Office.

I'm going to ask Steven Barrett the esteemed Barrister to look into this as he is on record as saying that Ofcom is broken.

Overwhelming weight of evidence of bias by OFCOM as Mark Steyn and Dan Wootton have long said. Labour loves Regulators so much and there’s so many of them, maybe Starmer should create OFREG which could regulate the err, Regulators? Nothing will change until a new government gets rid of 95% of the quangos and biased regulators.

The left-right divide fallacy is old hat. Give it a rest.

"Conservatives" voted for this nonsense bill as well. They all endorse censorship. And genocide. Just as Keir Stormtrooper's financial backers.

Faith in a new government only perpetuates the system.

For those of you suspicious as to why the BBC's complaint figures are so low - they get special treatment. I would know, I filed a complaint that the BBC then maliciously dropped and Ofcom bailed on.

The BBC is the only one of the group allowed to handle their own complaints up until the highest level. You have to complete every stage of the BBC's obnoxious clusterfuck hurdle-fest where they then maliciously have a one-time form that fails to load at the very end which magically auto-drops the complaint. Only then, after you've gone through that, can you file a complaint to Ofcom.

Who then promptly don't respond.

Ofcom is not impartial. It is rabidly pro-government. And that government is fucking corrupt.

We’ve all complained about the BBC and are well aware of how the system works so they get to mark their own homework. The real question is why are they allowed to get away with this?

So Ofcom can pretend there's far fewer complaints about the BBC on their own records. I guarantee you that complaints list would be larger by a factor of ten if they had to consider them the same way as others.

It was a rhetorical question obviously. But yes I agree there’s inbuilt bias in favour of the BBC by allowing them to mark their own homework apart from leadership bias.

Having a racist (DEI is a racist ideology) in charge of censorship, says it all! I will not read a regulated newspaper and I will not watch regulated tv. Vote with your feet people and tell the journalists why you’re leaving, LOUDLY. Force independence through the only thing they will eventually understand, the cost of their capitulation will be their comfortable livings.
