LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER,
And, the BBC....
BBC television, in featuring this DH LAWRENCE classic story again; has in this version intentionally censored or played down the SEX, in the story and in the book. Complying with the current censorious diktat of both Church and the Totalitarian State; the BBC is scared rigid to portray the story of DH LAWRENCE, as it has been originally written.
Great Britain today is rapidly returning to the days of 'pre-1960's' repression.
LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER is 'SEX'.
The story written by DH LAWRENCE is all about 'SEX'.
To leave the 'SEX' out or to play down the 'SEX' wholly destroys the original classical work. Leaving the 'SEX' out or playing down the 'SEX' in this BBC production; is positively absurd.
This censored BBC production merely insults the TV viewer and their intelligence. Leaving the SEX out, or playing down the SEX in, "LADY CHATTERLEY's LOVER", is just as absurd as viewing, "Planet Earth", yet censoring from all view, "ALL OF THE PEOPLE"
SEX is predominate throughout the entire book, it features,
1. The unfortunate 'impotence' of the, husband; who cannot perform the sexual act through injury sustained in war.
2. The urgent and desperate need of the wife who yearns for the sexual attentions and the sexual penetration of the male.
3. The sheer lust and sexual pleasure of both the 'gamekeeper' and this wife, who joyfully engage in copulation.
In the famous "Penguin" trial where the publisher was accused of publishing an obscene book; the Jury returned the verdict of “Not Guilty" determining in, LAW, that the book was not obscene and, furthermore, that it did not, "deprave or corrupt". Yet, as the prosecution pointed out during the trial the 'language' in the book contained the words "FUCK" and "FUCKING" no less than 30 times. And, other words complained of in the book, which the prosecution asserted would, 'deprave and corrupt'; were: CUNT, 14 times; BALLS, 13 times; SHIT and ARSE, 6 times each; COCK, 4 times; and, PISS, 3 times.
Yet, the Jury were still not convinced "beyond all reasonable doubt" that these words were intended to "deprave or corrupt".
How is it then that in this, 21st Century of Humankind, that we allow, both Church and the, 'Totalitarian State', and, the BBC, to censor these common 'English' words from our lives?
THE RIGHT OF "FREE EXPRESSION" IS INHERENT IN THE GENE.
