Of course, the film was actually shown on C4 last week. I saw it and it was very interesting.

Security as the reason?

This is not some ephemeral t-shirt being withdrawn from sale (though I do defend said ephemeral), this is academic exploration and questioning as it should be.

C4 should quantify the security fears, was the security advice from the statutory services and if so are the British government and security services conceding that they are either unwilling or unable to defend enquiring minds and open debate.

These points of security are are now out of C4 hands, it is now the duty of the British government to proactively defend life and liberty or if unwilling or unable to do so cede those responsibilities to the British people to defend.
