Today seems to be a Boris day for me. I’ve just came across these wise words on censorship. (I feel increasingly foolish about my Mamma Mia prissiness):

Every generation is phobic about the effect of new technology on the morals of the next, and the truth is, I don’t like the idea of kids spending hours on the web, probably being groomed by paedophiles from Liège; and yet all the kids I know – whatever they have been goggling at – seem remarkably unruffled, and surprisingly moralistic. No matter how sordid the programmes, they disapprove vehemently of swearing. Anything remotely racist or homophobic sounds much more profane, to their ears, than it did to children 30 years ago. I could direct you to an 11-year?old who certainly likes Desperate Housewives, but the show she really loves is called High School Musical and is so clean as to be positively emetic.
