no, it wasn't censorship. it was an expression of what i would consider
to be an ideal stated of affairs (i.e. the complete absence of sport
on TV). 

i said "wouldn't it be wonderful if...". i didn't say "ban all sport on
TV and imprison or execute anyone who wants to broadcast it"

but, of course, over-reaction and hyperbole are the appropriate response
to anyone making a non-mainstream comment. can't have anyone thinking -
or worse, expressing - unfashionable thoughts. that might lead to people
waking up from their sport and other soporific rubbish-induced comas and
taking notice of what's happening arounding them.


don't think, barrack!  good for sport, great for politics.
