    We have tight rules on political broadcasts for good reason (see US in run up to election) and I am thankful for them. However this is obviously a good cause and its unfortunate that it might be banned. Are they appealing?


    (also on a side note, am I the only one who finds this style of thread a little annoying, no real note as to what its about, no opinion, not really anything)

    No they aren't appealing because even though the ad's were not party political they say that clearly children dying is a political issue it is obviously an issue which politicians have to deal with.

    Ofcom didn't receive any complaits about the advert................

    Well, after blowing London up to distract from G8, they are hardly going to let some do-gooder celebrities put it back in the public eye now are they?

    On that basis, everything is a political issue and there should be NO adverts. Which is fine by me, thinking about it.

    Perhaps they should just change the advert so that it asks for funds... that way they can advertise just like cancer research etc do...

    The whole point of the campaign though is about political change not just people giving the odd pound here and there - also you have no idea how much of a bitch fight it would cause over who got the money.

    Thats ok, its just I didnt even know what MPH was until I clicked on the link. Both Kermit and GWST do this too, and I loath them both for it.

    I know. However, to get around the rules it would be worth finding a way to address this, even if the suggestion is donations to DEC or something...
