Your Majesty:
February 22, 1988
On September 23, 1987 I wrote the attached letter to the Crown Colony of Hong Kong and received the attached reply. Unfortunately, the Governor of the Crown Colony and the Television Licensing Authority apparently have not understood the message
that it is inconsistent for certain types of television programs to be prohibited in Britain and permitted in Hong Kong. In this respect I give you a copy of an article from Variety dated January 6, 1988 to the effect that viewers in Hong Kong will now be exposed to full frontal nudity on the T.V. screen. The concept that 800 people who replied to some type of a "survey," which has not been explained or scientifcally justified, reflects the morals of the people of Hong Kong is unbelievable.
We request Your Majesty to intervene in this matter and see that your subjects in Hong Kong are not exposed to more sex,
crime and violence
on the TV screen than they are
in exposed to Great Britain. We also suggest that you request that this so-called "survey" be submitted to you for examination and
and determination of whether a true universe" of the population, or a cross section thereof, was scientifically reflected both in the
