John Beyer tortured by
TV In Channel 5's Unbreakable the contestants are buried alive,
trapped in a tent full of CS gas and must wade through piranha-infested
water. They are also subjected to waterboarding, a torture technique
used by the CIA on terror suspects. Critics say the content is simply unacceptable.
FREE Delivery John Beyer The government has launched an advertising campaign warning of the
evils and dangers of knife crime. Beyer sees this as the perfect opportunity to push his agenda by
writing to the Prime Minister blaming the entertainment industries for
the problem. Beyer wrote: John Beyer Speaking today John Beyer, director of mediawatch-uk said: We very much welcome the new Council and wish
it every success in its endeavours. Many parents are very worried and
concerned about the offensive and harmful material so easily accessible
on the Internet. We hope that the Council will provide a much needed
forum where these issues can be raised and properly considered. The
highest priority for the Council is the protection of children and the
Prime Minister was right to set it up. We hope that other countries will
follow the example we have set in the UK and we hope it will lead
directly to an International Treaty on content that will effectively
require the plethora of pornographic and violent imagery currently
available to be taken down and the stopping of new offensive and harmful
imagery being uploaded. Comment:

...Recommends Unbreakable
John Whittingdale, Tory chairman of the media select committee, said:
You have to ask, where is it going to end? It
seems that scenes of torture are being used as entertainment. What next?
Reality contestants having electric shock treatment? There is a point
where such things should not be shown on television.
The motto for Unbreakable, which starts on Five tonight, is Pain is
Glory, Pain is Pride, Pain is Great to Watch.
John Beyer, director of lobby group Mediawatch UK, said:
Ofcom's Broadcasting Code states that programmes
should not include material that is harmful and/or offensive. This
programme could well be in breach of the code.
Waterboarding is a form of torture that I believe is illegal under
international law and so should not feature in any programme merely as a
form of entertainment.
We hope very much that Ofcom will be monitoring this series and taking
whatever action is appropriate.
A Five spokesman said: All the participants in Unbreakable were aware
of the type of the challenges they would face prior to filming. The
spokesman added that all tests were supervised by experts and that
volunteers had mental and physical assessments before the show.'

We advocate deep cuts be
inflicted on the
entertainment industry
Bearing in mind that the Government has itself
launched an advertising campaign through the media, thus recognising the
power of the media to influence behaviour, we believe that the time has
come for the Government to make it clear to broadcasters and film-makers
that the gratuitous portrayal of the use of guns and knives, merely for
entertainment, is no longer tolerable given the situation we all face.
If the necessary changes in attitude and culture are ever to be achieved
we believe tackling the entertainment industries is essential no matter
how contentious the task may seem.
We believe that the time has come for the Government to make it clear to
broadcasters and film-makers that the gratuitous portrayal of the use of
guns and knives, merely for entertainment, is no longer tolerable given
the situation we all face.

Seeing harm everywhere
he looks
We hope it will lead directly to an International Treaty on content that
will effectively require the plethora of pornographic and violent
imagery currently available to be taken down and the stopping of new
offensive and harmful imagery being uploaded.
So as usual, this does not go far enough for Beyer. He wants an all
powerful International Treaty that will ban and remove all porn
from the internet.
As we all know nothing will satisfy Beyer when it comes to protecting
children other than the government agreeing to ban everything Beyer and
his cohorts disapprove of.
Those responsible for protecting children online have come up with all
sorts of workable recommendations (such as giving parents more
information as to the content of websites) but no recommendations other
than BAN THE LOT will do for Beyer and his chums.
Beyer and Mediawatch UK see protecting children as a chance to
impose their views on everyone else.
