Somebody ought to tell the BBC, which specializes in broadcasting shocking footage from Iraq intended to cause distress and anxiety among the British public over the British troop deployments there, that these are now punishable offenses in once jolly olde England.
This is a very important point.
'This is a very important point.'
Simply not true. The BBC never shows shocking footage from Iraq as they are not allowed to show anything graphic. There is a great difference between a public news report that is subject to the broadcasting laws and individuals who take it on themselves to target people working within the law.
It doesn't matter how strongly you feel about an issue, Britain is a democracy and if you don't like a law, lobby to get it changed, don't mount personal campaigns against those currently working within the law.
