"The producers behind Ken Loach&amp;#039;s latest film The Angels&amp;#039; Share have criticised Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt and UK ratings board the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification). Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival press conference for the comedy-drama, Loach&amp;#039;s long-term producing partner Rebecca O&amp;#039;Brien hit out at the BBFC for demanding cuts to the film in order to avoid an 18 rating. Watch the Angels&amp;#039; Share trailer below:  &amp;quot;In the UK we had to make changes to the language to get the film a 15 certificate,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;We have actually had to remove some words from the version that you have seen here (Cannes) so that it could be a 15. We have made films with heavy scenes of torture, waterboarding and fingernails being torn out - they have been 15 certificates. &amp;quot;The BBFC was going to give The Angels&amp;#039; Share an 18 certificate. The language in the film is the language that these young people speak; it&amp;#039;s completely natural and I think the language that middle England - which the BBFC represents - if they&amp;#039;re looking for diversity in Britain they need look further than this film and Glasgow. &amp;quot;There are different ways of speaking and that should be acceptable to all and sundry and should not be censored.&amp;quot; The BBFC report states that cuts were made with dialogue substitution.  Loach added: &amp;quot;We were allowed seven c**ts. Only two of them could be aggressive c**ts.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;The British middle-class is obsessed by what they call bad language. The odd oath, like a word that goes back to Chaucer&amp;#039;s time, they will ask you to cut. But the manipulative and deceitful language of politics they use themselves. &amp;quot;So I think we should re-examine what we mean by bad language and have respect for our ancient oaths and swear words which we all enjoy.&amp;quot; Screenwriter Paul Laverty then attacked Jeremy Hunt, who is to be investigated over recent claims regarding media donations, saying his surname rhymes with &amp;quot;one of those words we were told to take out&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Maybe if he spent less time wining and dining with News Corp and actually goes back to his job as Minister of Culture and address that, that&amp;#039;d be a very good idea. If he keeps his job any longer that is,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;gt; Cannes Film Festival 2012 in pictures &amp;gt; The Angels&amp;#039; Share exclusive photos Photo gallery - 65 years of iconic Cannes Film Festival pictures:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
