UK Censorship Groucho Marx got it right when playing dictator Rufus T Firefly in Duck Soup. He clearly had Tony Blair and Gordon Brown in mind If any form of pleasure is exhibited, Freedoms are eroding rapidly in the UK.

Note that additional UK Censorship issues will be covered in other sections of Melon Farmers Thanks to Freeworld for the quote |
