Ofcom has issued new censorship rules to broadcasters about politicians presenting news The guidance, which comes into force immediately, reflects the modern news landscape and sets guardrails for broadcasters who use politicians as presenters in
programmes that include news. Specifically, our revised guidance explains the interaction between our due accuracy and due impartiality in news rule (5.1 under the Broadcasting Code), and the rule which prevents politicians from presenting news
programmes (5.3). It also updates the definition of politician to provide greater clarity. Access to duly accurate and duly impartial news on television and radio is fundamental to a democratic society. As such, broadcast news is afforded a higher
level of protection under UK law compared to non-news content. The news landscape has evolved in recent years. The distinction between news and current affairs content has become more blurred for audiences [3] , and while politicians presenting
current affairs programmes isnt new, it has become a more established editorial practice. Responses to our consultation were polarised, reflecting the broad range of views overall, and there was a high level of consensus amongst broadcasters in favour
of retaining the wording of Rule 5.3. Many respondents were concerned that amending Rule 5.3 would introduce significant practical challenges and operational uncertainty for broadcasters, and that it would inadvertently result in a de facto ban on
politicians presenting any kind of programmes. Our decision in detail The wording of Rule 5.3 will remain unchanged. Instead, we have decided that there is sufficient protection for audiences through the existing combination of Rules
5.1 and 5.3, but we have issued amended Guidance to make the relationship between them clearer, and more relevant to the modern news landscape. Specifically, we have decided to: update our Guidance to Rule 5.1, which states that news, in
whatever form, must be reported with due accuracy and presented with due impartiality. Our amendments make explicit that if an MP presented news in a non-news programme, then their status as an MP would likely be a relevant factor in
considering whether that news was presented with due impartiality. We explain that we would also take into account all other relevant factors -- including, for example, the nature and subject of the news in question and the MPs political position on that
issue. The new guidance also signposts that where politicians present news in news programmes, Rule 5.3 applies. update our Guidance to Rule 5.3 , which states that no politician may be used as a newsreader, interviewer or reporter in
any news programmes unless, exceptionally, it is editorially justified . In that case, the political allegiance of that person must be made clear to the audience.
Our amended guidance offers further clarification on the meaning of
exceptional circumstances -- defined as those which cannot be controlled or foreseen by the broadcaster. We also make clear that we would expect such situations to be rare, and for licensees who use politicians as presenters to put appropriate
contingency arrangements in place to avoid these situations. update the definition of politician in our Guidance The new definition now includes a reference to members of the House of Lords and representatives of political
parties, while the reference to activists has been removed. These changes to the Guidance come into force from today. Politicians as presenters in non-news programmes, including current affairs programmes There is no Ofcom rule that prevents a
politician from presenting or appearing on a TV or radio programme -- providing they arent standing in an election taking place, or about to take place, and that the programme otherwise complies with the Broadcasting Code |

Graham Linehan released by police trumped charges of crimes against free speech

Graham Linehan Cleared After Heathrow Arrest as CPS Drops Case After Free Speech Controversy The charges may be dropped but the arrest leaves behind a chilling portrait of a country increasingly turning against free speech. Graham Linehan, the
Irish writer best known for Father Ted and The IT Crowd , says police have now confirmed he will face no further action following his controversial arrest at Heathrow Airport last month. He was accused of using social media to incite
violence, a claim now dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service. Linehans arrest became a flashpoint in a growing concern over the decline of free speech in modern Britain. The image of an airport surrounded by armed officers confronting a comedy
writer for tweets struck many as absurd, even dystopian. He credited the Free Speech Union for its support and vowed to hold the police accountable for what is only the latest attempt to silence and suppress gender critical voices on behalf of
dangerous and disturbed men |

The Vengeance of Dr. Mabuse The Vengeance of Dr. Mabuse is a 1972 West Germany / Spain crime Sci-Fi horror by Jesús Franco (as Jess Frank)
Starring Fred Williams,Jack Taylor,Ewa Strömberg
There are no censorship issues with this release. US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
Promotional Material A criminal mastermind (Jack Taylor, Female Vampire) deploys poison gas and a beautiful whip-wielding assassin (Beni Cardoso) in a plot to steal government secrets in The Vengeance of
Dr Mabuse (Dr. M schlägt zu). But his elaborate schemes risk unraveling when a small-town inspector (Fred Williams) stumbles into the scene. An unauthorized entry in the Dr. Mabuse cycle, the film makes no reference to Norbert Jacquess clairvoyant
criminal (the M-word is carefully avoided). Instead, director Jess Franco used the project as a chance to revisit his own sci-fi thrillers (The Awful Dr. Orlof, The Diabolical Dr. Z). Fold in a disfigured henchman (Rocha), a striptease dancer (Ewa
Strömberg, Vampyros Lesbos), and wrap it all in a feverish jazz score, and the result is a spicy cinematic melange that could only have been concocted in the demented mind of Jess Franco.

Starring Jacqueline Giroux, Uschi Digard and Marius Mazmanian
Produced with 2 significantly different versions, a horror version titled The Beast and the Vixens, and a sex version titled The Beauties and the Beast. Later a composite version was assembled.
Summary Notes
Girls in a nudist camp are terrorized by an Abominable Snowman-type beast.
US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
- 2025 Dark Force Entertainment Composite Version (RA) Blu-ray at US Amazon #ad released on
19th August 2025
Promotional Material It's retro Drive-In mania at it's finest with this rare 1974 exploitation flick The Beast and the Vixens (also known as 'Desperately Seeking Yeti'
and originally titled 'The Beauties and the Beast'). Shot on location in Big Bear Lake in California, "The Beast and the Vixens" is a fun filled romp about Bigfoot-like beast terrorizes women in the woods as criminals and hippies clash
in this wild blend of sex, horror, and 1970s sexploitation. This adult Drive-In cult classic had two versions released including an X-rated one showing off countless nude women including Swedish bombshell Uschi Digard (remembered from Russ Meyer's
CHERRY, HARRY & RACHEL)! The Beast/Yeti creature is straight out of B-MOVIELAND and bears a striking resemblance to the Gargantuas in the Japanese monster classic WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS. With only a prior VHS release, the original negative for this
picture had been long lost, however Dark Force Entertainment located the only surviving 35mm prints (with some extra reels from the shorter adult film version) and completed a new 2K scan of the original horror version with added soft core scenes for the
first time ever Hi-Def Blu-ray release of THE BEAST AND THE VIXENS. Bonus Materials

Promotional Material 101 Films presents Abel Ferraras iconic neo-noir Bad Lieutenant (1992), released on 4K UHD in the UK for the first time. Driven by a career best performance by the legendary Harvey
Keitel as the titular Lieutenant, Abel Ferraras unfiltered tale of self-destruction, guilt, forgiveness and redemption shocked audiences and critics alike with its uncompromising depiction of crime in New Yorks seedy underbelly. In a career full of
provocative filmmaking, the notorious Bad Lieutenant stands alone as Ferraras most incendiary and certainly his finest piece of work. For twenty years, he has ruled the streets--gambling, stealing, using, killing. A corrupt, drug-addicted New York
City cop spirals deeper into vice while investigating the brutal assault of a young nun. As the case forces him to confront his own sins, he walks the line of self-destruction and the elusive promise of redemption. Brand

From IMDb:
- The sex scene is longer and more graphic in the Unrated Version.
- Much more gory violence in the Unrated Version; nearly all characters cough up blood as they are being killed, the shot of the tent pole being rammed through the girl, the shot
of the chubby guy's hand being broken off, the shot of Robert (Jason) crushing the girl's head and blood spurting out (she then says "go to hell"), Coroner(Jason swings the scalpel more times at the girl outside the tent.
- The shot of
the creature crawling up Diana's dress was also omitted from the R-rated version.
- After Jason leaves Josh's body, his jaw can be seen on the floor as it melts. This was cut for the "R" rated version. The "R" version also
omits most of the heart-eating scene near the beginning.
