As someone who isn't familiar with the UK advertising laws, is this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advertising_Standards_Authority_(United_Kingdom) what you mean?

I think one of the big ones is the actor saying 'pedophiles' in the first 5 seconds. Possibly wasnt within the guidelines. Watch the video its extremely clear why it wasnt fit for broadcast and was never intended to be.

Let's just settle in the obvious that there was no way this video was over going to pass and they were going to find any means necessary to sack it.
