From here:
All prisoners in England and Wales could be banned from watching channels such as Sky Sports in their cells, a government minister has indicated.
Offenders in private prisons are able to access pay-TV channels for a small weekly fee, but inmates in publicly run jails can only watch free-to-air ones.
Asked on Tuesday whether this would continue, Prisons Minister Jeremy Wright said “not for much longer”.
The brutality of taking pay TV channels away from convicted criminals is a barbarity that defies belief. I am lost for words.
Have you actually watched Sky Sports?…
😀
Good point – no.
It’s actually pretty good, if rather dominated by soccer, but then I’d have to say that: I worked at Sky for 18 years.
Hmm, with a name like “Sky Sports” I would have thought it was all Quidditch and Air Race. 🙂
I believe it does cover the Air Race, but it started way before Quidditch was invented…
Quidditch is first mentioned in 1362 and apparently was played for a long time before that. Sky Sports is indeed an old channel.
