I quoted the article- the fact is the EU is trying to "lean on the Britts to censre its media-
THe EU has caused a lot of problems for its member nations - I understood it was supposed to help Europe compete better on a global scale but as is often the case politics have tainted the it

again, the ECRI is part of the EU. It is NOT the EU, therefore the EU is not trying to censor anyone's media.
What do you expect from these councils? They all have an obvious agenda. A women's council is trying to strengthen the rights of women and a council against racism and intolerance is trying to keep racism and intolerance at a minimum. Those council's exist in every country and they don't have any powers. They just publish recommendations and it's the government's job to read, consider or completely disregard these ideas for future laws.
There are also lots of multi national councils. The UN for example has tons of them and they publish recommendations all the time.

I would expect any group council, multi national concil putting out such dreck to lose funding from countries who do not beleive in censoring its own citizens
Parts of the UN should lose its funding too but it won t happen anytime soon-
Sometimes it seems people don t want to know what is happening and if it takes censorship to keep reality from entering their view of the world then all the better-
