I don't see any major issues with BSA at the moment but knowing what OFCOM is like it's just a matter of time until BSA start taking off air things the government doesn't like.

things the government doesn’t like.

Only likely to happen from one particular side of the aisle.

Most of our public services are reasonably independent of the government, for now at least.

I imagine the BSA is quite careful walking the censorship line... censorship is expensive, they are unlikely to ever have the budget for it.
