Who should be allowed to censor films?
Unions?
Commercial organizations?
Public sector bodies?
Is any subject OK for comedy?
“Comedies, even those more grey than black, have always treated serious matters lightly. Mel Brooks’ The Producers made a musical of the Holocaust; M*A*S*H made a mockery of the Korean War. Stand-ups make jokes about 9/11. It is in the nature of comedy that nothing should be taboo.”

…what about Life of Brian? And The Full Monty?
…what about Three And Out?
…what about ASLEF?
…what about London Underground?
Let us know…
