Whew, I thought this happened somewhere with freedom of speech and started to get upset. just google "UK ban ad" and set your date range to exclude this month. There are so many banned ads. Once you decide it is ok to ban speech it's a slippery slope.

I think religion, race, disability or gender/sexual orientation is a tricky thing to mock. You might have some people who get the joke or don’t care, and then you have others where it may psychologically hurt them.

I think religion is a perfectly acceptable thing to mock. These people tell you exactly what they believe in their religion and (to put it mildly) it's laughable.

Anything that involves a conscious choice, like religion, is fair game.

All countries have banned speech just varying degrees. Freedom of speech is a myth.
