"Must not criticize Muslims" is what it is really all about:
"Another new guideline, about religious coverage, says that “Any content dealing with matters of religion and likely to cause offence to those with religious views and beliefs must be editorially justified as judged against generally accepted standards and must be referred to a senior editorial figure.”
However Terry Sanderson, the president of the National Secular Society, said: “This is an entirely retrograde step that will put severe restrictions on comedians, documentary makers, satirists and commentators who want to be critical of religion. Almost anything that isn’t wholly reverential towards religious beliefs can be perceived as offensive by some believers.”

I think that it time that the citizens of the UK revised the BBC charter and advised Parliament of their descision, after all they pay for the service (if it can be called that). Politicains failing to adhere to the guidance of the puplic will be disenfranchised at the next election. If only.
It is time the population rose up and said 'No representation without integration' to the whimps in both houses of government.
