Out of interest, can you link to sources detailing the censorship?

  The BBC charter, the documents that detail the BBC's legal obligations as recipients of the license fee, includes extensive rules on political impartiality in broadcasting. http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/editorialguidelines/page/guidelines-impartiality-introduction http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/editorialguidelines/page/gui... However, these are simply the BBC's own internal guidelines which complement the legal codes of "due impartiality" which apply to all television in the united kingdom http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/broadcasting/broadcast-codes/broadcast-code/impartiality/ http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/broadcasting/broadcast-code... Observers sometimes construe this as state censorship. In fact it is only applied in response to mass citizen complaint against blatantly objectionable programming, and in to my memory works more often against the government than in their favor.
