Erm, I really don't care one way or the other

I'm all for freedom of choice and think that the public gets what the public wants. 20 million people watched X Factor on Sunday night - that's 1 in 3 of the population.

The anti X Factor lot are just as bad as Mary Whitehouse, but for a different reason.

There's an off button, about 500 other channels, different radio stations etcetc.
