Ooh my Golly Gosh!
It has been a wee while since I have awarded my prestigious, and internationally renowned, "Prats of The Week" Award.
This week I have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in awarding it to the Prats on Sutton Council.
For why?
For their knobheaded decision to ban a poster advertising "Anybody for Murder?", a comedy performed by Croydon based Exit Theatre amateur dramatics group.
The dickheads in Sutton Council deemed that the poster might "offend" residents, as it showed actress Red Cook in a swimming costume coming out of the water.
Evidently the councillors of Sutton don't get out that much. As an ex resident of Croydon I would note that the ladies who go out and about partying there at night wear a lot less, and show a lot more, than Red Cook.
Were Nanny to try to ban everything that might be deemed to be "offensive" there would be no TV/radio, no printed media, no internet and no religion (banning the latter may well be a good idea come to think of it:)).
Sutton Council, well deserving Prats of The Week!

ReplyDeleteIt is only a matter of time before councils ban themselves and neatly *poof* vanish in a cloud of logic.
ReplyDeleteKen;
ReplyDeleteYou state;
"Were Nanny to try to ban everything that might be deemed to be "offensive" there would be no TV/radio, no printed media, no internet and no religion (banning the latter may well be a good idea come to think of it:))."
Isn't that Nanny's ultimate goal?....No media unless approved by the state...Pravda......No religion except the worship of the state....No internet as it allows people to freely discuss things and form their own opinions based on research...China?
Only approved state publications...Multi language of course....This IS the goal of all Stalinist police states.....Socialism can only be achieved by authoritianism.
Enjoy banning posters responsibly.

I wish they would!
I grew up in Sutton. It was a nice place until they turned it into a Croydon clone. But JC you must have it wrong, councils and logic - in the same sentence. Surely they will just disappear where Chaucer's Summoner put the nest of Friars?
