<p class="text-align-justify">So, what is British Board of Film? Established in 1912, BBFC is technically an independent body that charges film distributors for the classification function it performs.</p>

<p class="text-align-justify">It is made self regulatory in order to avoid government intervention. Parliament in 1984 made it a body to oversee the video classification in the United Kingdome. It bestowed formal legitimacy to the BBFC, but it also made it more susceptible to central government pressure.</p>

<p class="text-align-justify">Despite common perception, it is not a government agency. In reality, central government do not play direct role in film censorship except from enacting laws that impacts the operation of BBFC. Local governments have far more authority than the BBFC, such as the last word as to whether or not particular films may be screened, but they often accept the decision made by&nbsp;BBFC.</p>
