I wish to complain about the negative impact of the charaters
and story line of tonights episode of eastenders. (11 December
2003).
The amount of rapes committed in britain that go unreported each
year is on the rise and shows like this can give a positive view
of the benefits of reporting sexual offences not just against
women but men and children.
Eastenders has such a wide range of viewers that this storyline
could have served as a positive message to those who have suffered
or are suffering sexual abuse to seek help.
Even if the character had contacted a helpline would have been
better than two second rate actresses glorifying and simplifying
a serious sexual offence.
I wish to complain about the nature of the character of 'little
Mo'. On this occassion they should have given her charater more
credit and inteligence. I am sickened that the charater did not
consider any other victims her rapist may assault.
I have contacted the BBC in an effort to complain about the contents
of the show and the fact that the actresses should have shown
a little more responsibility regarding performances and the messages
being sent out to people.
Re: BBC's reply on 19 December 2003 (see above left): "can
I suggest that she contact us directly with any concerns she may
have regarding 'EastEnders'." ... She already
has!! - see last paragraph of her complaint above!
=================================
How dare you drop Kilroy from your
programme. I thought we have freedon of speech in
this country or has that been taken away from the true British and
only now applies to foreigners like "Dr Hook" the muslim
cleric who preaches violence against us on our own streets. As a
licence fee payer i TOTALLY object to you dropping someone's programme
just because they have the guts to say what normal people think.
You truly have lost the plot at the BBC if you pander to the loony
leftwing politically correct idiots who live in this country and
totally undermine it - why don't they and you go and live in one
of these arab countries where freedom of speech never existed and
see what you are encouraging.
You make me sick. It's really about time you were privatised, you
really have overstepped the mark lately and have lost any respect
you once deserved. You waste our money on programmes which are not
in the interests of our nation and you should be stopped. The fat
cats at the BBC should be sacked. Mrs Manchee .. 10 January

Freedom of speech is not an absolute
right and people who use it irresponsibly deserve to have it taken
away. Otherwise you might as well object to being
thrown out of Parkhead for sectarian chanting on the grounds that
you were only exercising your right to free speech. Racial and religious
bigotry isn't acceptable in this country and "free speech"
is no justification for it.
