My hunch: They didn’t think any context was missing. They simply asked Ofcom to investigate Channel 4 as a show of evenhandedness, to prove to the perpetually aggrieved that they’re willing to be “fair” to a fault in investigating claims of religious hatred. It’s CYA, and probably a harbinger of how they’ll handle these things going forward.

Hell of a way to fight terrorism: Announce to the world that anyone who gives a tip will be investigated before his claim is.

In 2004 the Home Office issued a document to British broadcasters called “Reporting Diversity” warning the BBC and ITV (don’t know whether C4 was warned) that the Press Complaints Commission forbids “discrimination”:

Journalists should generally beware of statements that cast a slur on groups, such as implications that Muslims are sympathetic towards terrorists. To be in breach of the code, publication must not only be prejudicial or pejorative – but also discriminatory. For example a satirical cartoon depicting Israeli premier Ariel Sharon eating a baby – while undeniably pejorative – was cleared by the PCC of being racist as it referred to him in his capacity as head of government, rather than as a Jew.

This code has the backing of the law and so the police are just enforcing the Labour Government’s policies as they are sworn to do.
