1, By virtue of s.4 of the Video Recordings Act 1984 the Secretary of State bestowed upon the BBFC the duty of film classification. They do not need to pass anything at all. It is a self-governing organ within the boundaries of the law. But, since they 'take into consideration the public opinion (the opinion of conservative pressure groups), I think they will impose harsher criterions using the public opinion and the usual democracy argument. Especially if the UNICEF tards successfully get a bunch of people together to howl and shout lame slogans for a while. The BBFC want the public to whine and whinge, so they can claim to have acted in accordance with the public opinion.
