Remember all that nonce-sense about Brasseye?
Tessa Jowell MP screaming about the show but ignoring the photos and lascivious comments in The Sun and The Mirror about Charlotte Church (15) and Fergie's daughters? (11 + 13)?
I emailed Tessa Jowell and asked for her opinion on the peadophiliac nature of the tabloid pics and comments in light of her decrying of Brasseye.
And, after many weeks, I get a reply.
Read and enjoy the hypocritical mindset of Ms Tessa Jowell.

Thank you for your email of 31 July to Tessa Jowell concerning the channel
Four program Brass Eye. The Broadcasting Policy Division within the
Department for Culture, Media and Sport deals with issues in this area and I
have been asked to respond. I apologise for the delay in replying.
Under the current broadcasting arrangements, responsibility for what is
broadcast on television and radio rests with the broadcasters and the
broadcasting regulatory bodies -the Governors of the BBC, the Independent
Television Commission (ITC), the Welsh Fourth Channel Authority (S4C) and
the Radio Authority. They are independent of the Government and accountable
for safeguarding the public interest in broadcasting. They also maintain
guidelines for programme makers on the standards which should be observed.
It is important that the views of the public are brought to the attention of
the broadcasters and regulators so they can reflect these views in their
codes and guidelines.
Within this framework it is for the broadcasters to make judgements about
the content of individual programmes and the time at which they are
broadcast, in the light of the responsibilities placed upon them and of
their more detailed programme guidelines. It is a long-standing principle
that the Government does not intervene in programme matters, either on
arrangements for scheduling or on content.
Tessa Jowell expressed her personal feelings as a viewer and a parent and
made it absolutely clear that the programme content and regulatory matters
are for the regulators to deal with and not the Government. A heavy
responsibility sits on them to safeguard public trust and confidence. For
her part, she wishes to be sure that the regulatory system is able to
respond rapidly and effectively to issues of the kind we have seen in this
case.
Newspapers and periodicals remain wholly independent of the Government. The
responsibility to decide what, and what not, to publish, subject to the
general law, is theirs. The Government believes that a free press is a
cornerstone of democracy, and as such, does not wish to control the
editorial content of newspapers or magazines.
Newspapers operate a system of self-regulation through the Press Complaints
Commission (PCC), which is an independent body set up by the newspaper
industry to ensure that British newspapers and magazines follow the
industry's code of practice. The Government expects the press to abide by
the rules and commitments enshrined in the PCC's Code of Practice and
continues to monitor alleged press abuses and the PCC's handling of them.
If you have not already done so, you might want to direct your concern about
this matter to the relevant editor.
I hope this information is helpful
Yours sincerely
