Big brother bans cannabis video in the public interest!

Don Barnard

Press Release

Thursday 29 Aug 2002

---

No embargo.

As you are aware the British Board of Film Classification was in the news
today [Thursday]. Do you think you can do anything with the following.

Historical account of the Cannabis legalisation Campaign banned in public
interest!

Paul Dooner who's been making a film charting the legalise cannabis campaign
over the last year or so recently submitted the material he wanted for
release to the British Board of Film Classification [BBFC].

Yesterday [BBFC] refused the film any kind classification because the film
(allegedly) 'incites drug taking'

Snips of video available to TV stations. Photo call interviews and more
info.

LCA Spokes person Don Barnard said:

I do find it remarkable in today's political climate where every statement
made by politicians is scrutinised. But, when it comes to drugs
there is little public reaction, no questioning of New Labours' adoption of
Joseph Goebbels' philosophy - It is the absolute right of the state to
supervise the formation of public opinion.

We all know how porn has the ability to encourage masturbation which
allegedly cause hair to grow on the hands even blindness but the [BBFC]
gives these xxx rating.

"The refusal to give this video of any kind of rating is clearly based on
political considerations rather than in the interest of protecting public
morals and health.
