Although we have not historically received many complaints about advertising for homeopathy, the Code has general requi...

JH: Good morning, Andrew. AM: Now Jamie  just said that he thinks you might be in favour of a tax on sugary drinks. Are you? JH: Well it's a bit terrifying not to answer affirmatively if he's going to get more ninja. AM: He'll get more ninja if you don't say yes. JH: And obviously it's Sunday morning and people are tucking into their bacon and eggs, chocolate croissant or whatever I don't want to be too much of a killjoy but he is right we have got to do something about this. And...
