    Sticker Bicker

    Well, what do you think. Should the police be making this point or is it another silly moment where we are all going mad.

    I think she's a nasty piece of work and should be locked up on general principles anyway.

    I think stickers of this nature are funny. Could somebody really get offended by it !! Its only lighthearted banter.

    I don't think it was the nature of the sticker that was offensive, rather the use of an uncensored swear word.

    Well, if the Police go by the letter of the law, section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986 says that it is an offence to display 'any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting, within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress'. On that basis does the removal of one vowel make much difference?

    Such usage has been OK in the US for 40 years http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohen_v._California. While I wouldn't go out of my way to encourage its use, surely it's time to follow suit...

    Quite right too. Why the heck should she be allowed to foul up my visual environment by means of moronic, totally unfunny bumper stickers? If she likes them, she could restrict herself to putting them up in her own home, not obliging me to read cretinous foul-mouthed slogans when stuck behind her in heavy traffic.

    Whilst I'm on the subject, people wearing FCUK t-shirts should also be detained under the Taste and Decency act which I will pass just as soon as I become PM.

    People displaying "Little Princess on board" signs in the back of their car can expect to fall foul of the new law and may also be liable for Aggravated Parental Blame charges, as will any parent found dropping their kids off at school wearing t-shirts emblazoned with "There's nothing like a big ....... to wake you up in the morning". Yes missus, we realize you have s*x, we can see the lamentable results of it right in front of us, and it's quite lucky they can't read, isn't it?
