Available 24-hours a day, it's a simple click-and-use way to follow Press TV regularly.

At issue is its even-handed coverage, real news and information, anti-imperial Middle East reporting, and accurate accounts about "British police crackdowns on anti-austerity protesters in London and other cities."

In addition, Ofcom is close to Britain's royal family. WikiLeaks cables disclosed its anger over Press TV's coverage of Prince William/Kate Middleton's wedding extravaganza. 

Indeed so. Estimates ranged from $5 - $50 billion because a national holiday shut down Britain's economy. Activity ground to a halt. Workers lost pay, and security costs were huge. Thousands of police (perhaps on overtime) and other measures were employed.

Last April, this writer discussed it on Press TV, saying:

With Britain's economy weak and declining, the spectacle was "shocking and disgusting." It was "an extravagant waste of money" while "popular needs go begging." 

Contemptuous of people needs, "rich folks cavort with unlimited amounts of money. It's the same in America as Britain."

In January, Press TV CEO Mohammad Sarafraz wrote Ofcom. He questioned its independence because Britain's Secretary of State has hiring and firing authority over its chairman and staff.
