In a TV clip we have been examining is a vision of a politician in Bangladesh making a statement about alleged breakdown in law and order in Bangladesh today. However, the same Channel, SKY 814 does NOT broadcast contextually speaking, anything like that same sort of ‘comment’ by Bangladeshis in the UK about the Society in the UK. So OFCOM has been failing in its basic regulatory duty to ensure that operators controlling licensed outlets comply with their own undertakings given to OFCOM and to the public in THE UK that they would address the issues here in the UK. OFCOM has been behaving like a very negligent outfit which only ever gets involved in the business of regulating when people make a fuss. Otherwise OFCOM lets the foul behaviour to go on unchallenged. This is not good for society in Britain at all. In the context of THIS particular channel and its output, the failures by OFCOM has been letting the community in Tower Hamlets down very badly. The depth of ignorance, misinformation and diversion away from the issues affecting the Bangladeshis in the UK that are daily perpetrated on the OFCOM-licensed outlets and carried on SKY channels linked to the UK Bangladeshi community is very serious. So far, there has been no comment let alone investigation into the conduct and the agenda of these Channels. [To be continued]
