The motion
leave out from `slavery' to end and add `but recognises that what is important is that the acceptability of such ignorant remarks is successfully confronted and challenged in the output, thereby achieving the useful purpose of educating and engaging the viewers without resorting to crude censorship of political and other views; and believes that politicians should not rush to judgement, nor usurp the role of the regulator, nor interfere, directly or by threat, in the editorial decisions of broadcasters.'.
