A mother of two has been fined for swearing at yobs who terrorised her neighbourhood… Ms Appleyard finally lost her temper and pleaded with her tormenters: "Please, just f*** off". Two weeks later, officers called at her house and issued her with the fine.Quite right. Swearing is the sign of a limited vocabulary. I hope they throw the book at her, just as they did with Wayne Rooney when he called the referee a cunt and a blighter, thereby setting a poor example to the young people. (It is important to nip this kind of thing in bud, otherwise the fans might start swearing.)
Sergeant Neil Haley, from West Yorkshire police, said: "We appreciate that anti-social behaviour can be frustrating for people but they should not take the law into their own hands."
Freedom of speech does not give one the right to shout “Bollocks!” in a crowded theatre.
The authentic face of modern Britain: the face of a resentful stoat.
