Actually I'd also consider two complaints as indicating that the listenership isn't very large anyway, despite what people might say in surveys.
As for the grandaughter, well she was slagged off and so has every right to get pissy.
Like you I fail to see the link to protecting kids, other than "here's a line we can use to get general approval of our evil schemes" - unless someone can show a lot of kids listen. And do they mean under 5s, under 10s, under 15s? I think the latter are being viciously undermined with this sort of thinking anyway. FFS when are they supposed to grow up into young adults: miraculously overnight on their birthday?
And yes I'm with you on the opportunism - I think the head hoincho who's left should have done the modern managemnet thing and sacked the underlings responsible but there's more afoot than we wot.
