http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b074xvh6 play on this link [Would you ******* believe it? A council has ******* banned swearing in public. The council in question is Salford which has used a Public Space Protection Order to tackle anti-social behaviour in the Salford Quays area which includes Media City , home to the BBC, which might be just a coincidence. Part of the order says it will be deemed a criminal offence if anyone is caught 'using foul and abusive language'. Public Space Protection Orders, or PSPOs, are similar to ASBO's (anti-social behaviour orders)../...... If it is true that inconsiderate behaviour is increasing in our society, how should we deal with it? How do we balance our moral obligation to the rest of society with our desire to do what we **** well please? Chaired by Michael Buerk with Claire Fox, Michael Portillo, Giles Fraser and Anne McElvoy. Witnesses are Anna Minton, Alfie Moore, Danny Kruger and Terry Christian.] This was Debated last night on Radio 4 Moral Maze 8PM. last night No more Skateboarding No Swearing etc Salford Keys Salford Media City etc. Terry says its wrong the rest on that panel did not agree with him But he made some great points. He is Clever he said about one example saying someone asked some else how much it is F her 100 Pound Fine for swearing to come in. A copper came on and said Well done Salford Last edited by arista; 31-03-2016 at 12:16 PM. |
