Yes I have seen those notices, they are everywhere now, the tube, supermarkets, cinemas etc, but I didn't know what people were actually banned, I guess it is easier to do this in a hospital setting as a note can be put on file, far more difficult to implement in other areas of life unfortunately

With regard to media interest I think someone being physically attacked should take precedence over someone being a complete twat which I think most people can get over more than a physical assault.
