    Liberty says the order could ‘have a chilling effect on freedom of expression.’
    This seems a bit of a stretch. Except, having read on, thats not actually what they said.

      This could cause a serious crimp in the useable material for comedians performing at the Lowry.

      Frankie Boyle could end up being fined half a billion quid, or going to prison for a decade.

          So what you're saying is there's no actual down side?

            In the letter to City Director Jim Taylor, Liberty’s Legal Officer, Liberty’s Rosie Brighouse has requested clarification on four points.

            She asks:

            “Does the language have to be both foul and abusive to breach the PSPO, or is its purpose to ban both language that is foul but not abusive, and language that is abusive but not foul?

            “What is the difference between language that is foul and language that is abusive?

            “What legal test will be applied to determine whether language is foul and/or abusive?

            “If someone uses foul and/or abusive language in the area covered by the PSPO, but there is no one present to hear it, will that amount to a criminal offence?”
            Getting quite philosophical towards the end there, Rosie.

              Rosie has done a magnificent job of stating the second possibility without actually using the word "or", which is plainly what the council would have used if that is what they had meant. They didn't, of course. They used "and".

              Used to be just a straight red in my day.

                Foul and abusive language isn't exactly a new concept either, is it?
