Laws and regulations don’t define the time Ofcom should take to investigate. If the breaches are clear it can act with urgency. In fact is entitled and expected to do so.

Unless you have investigated such things before I don't think anyone is in a position to make such a statement. Expected by whom, the GOV has made it clear it would wait for Ofcom.

To the post above from Brekkie, the whole purpose of law is that it doesn't matter. You can't just decide to ignore it. That is what Putin does. The law is the law in the UK.

I have just explained to you what the law and the relevant regulations provide for. That is that. I don’t understand why you’re trying to argue.

Ofcom is always slow and that is not something that is required by law.

As for the government, there is nothing in law that would have prohibited the government from implementing a ban, separately from anything Ofcom would or would not do. Many MPs demanded exactly that, including some ministers. It was a political decision to refer to Ofcom as the party currently in government does not want to upset those of its voters who misunderstand freedom of speech.

I won't understand what your argument is either. All I am saying is that Ofcom should investigate properly and we should not just ignore regulations or the law just because people feel strongly about something.

You are stating Ofcom should act faster and suggest this is deliberate without seeming to understand the implications of a ban would have. I.e the UK will lose influence in Russia when British media have to presumably leave. I am not sure what rabbit hole you are going down with the last line, but no thanks. I think we have covered the conversation enough and we are not going to agree.
