Various media is today carrying a story about two buskers in Birmingham who have been given ASBO's. Their crime? Only knowing two songs, and playing nothing but George Michael's 'Faith,' and Oasis' 'Wonderwall,' to an increasingly bored and frustrated towns folk.
Perhaps this could be deemed as some sort of precedent being set for continual spouting of the same song or message being deemed anti-social by the courts.
I wonder if that could apply to our politicians?
Imagine Sammy being banned from calling climate change 'hysteria,' or accusing everything he doesn't agree with of being an 'industry.'
Or Gerry prevented from using the word 'transitory,' to appease his supporters.
It's a pity this precedent has only been set now, imagine where we'd be if Big Ian hadn't been allowed to keep saying 'Never, never. never.'
