'Make Poverty History' message banned in Britain

this is outrageous.

Why is it that the capitalists can advertise all their f*****g products all day everyday? Surely that is a political action as well.

Whats wrong with advertising politics anyway. Has the exchange of new ideas become illegal? Its always when us anti-capitalists want to do something, we get blocked for no good reason other than it threatens the wealth of those in power.

I know, it's just such an overly bleeding heart leftwing extremist view to get rid of poverty, only pathetic minority groups think poverty should be history despite the fact that it's really just an act of decency.

Seriously, anyone who feels offended of the idea of stopping poverty deserves to be living in poverty themselves.

I am hard pressed to think of a reply to express my sentiments which is not entirely made up of profanities.

Usually these rulings only get brought into being after several complaints and an advertisement in the press.

I wonder who did the complaining, to make the watchdogs sit up and take notice?

I am not suggested all the complainants were MP's or anything, but it does make one wonder.

Probably members of the oil corporations or the Conservative Party.

I did mention MP's as one possibility.

There may have been people who didn't want their consciences 'pricked' by assorted 'celebrities' and showbiz 'personalities' though.

I wouldn't want to start off anything concerning a widely held perception that international aid is often about transferring money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.

WTF?! i swear to God this world is going down the s**thole quicker than we think.
