I just stay clear away from all of that content! Just not worth the risk and is illegal in UK anyway.

UK law is a minefield. Apart from deification and urination (and possibly vomiting) it is all legal. Remember Channel 4 produced a cinema released film with fisting in it last year, probably already shown on Film 4.

However 'obscenity' is still illegal, and still defined as 'anything that causes offence'. For example, people have been arrested for saying "fuck" in a public place.

So what I want to know is; why isn't Johnathan Ross doing life?

That probably explains how they are going after men showing their big fat hairy bellies in public.

It went the opposite way in Canada. The girls won equal rights in court to go topless.
