We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to initiate urgent action to require the Office of Communication (Ofcom), using its regulatory powers, to substantially reduce the portrayal of fictional violence and the use of obscene language on television. More details
Submitted by John C Beyer of mediawatch-uk – Deadline to sign up by: 10 January 2008 – Signatures: 2,112
More details from petition creator
We believe that television has a huge impact on our society and that broadcasters help to create the culture of violence and aggression that causes so much concern. For 3 years running (2005/06/07) Ofcom has found, in its Communications Market review, that the majority of people believe there is too much violence and swearing on TV. And this despite their Code which states (Clause 2.4) that "programmes must not include material that glamorises violent .. or seriously antisocial behaviour."
