What happened to Britain? British humour is world renowned. Everybody knows Monty Python and UK sit-coms. Could British people have lost their sense of humour? That would be very strange, wouldn't it, bizarre, even. When did British people stop laughing and start being offended?

If you can't make a joke in the UK, is it also verboten, I mean forbidden, to laugh? Do Brits have to stop laughing or face arrest?

If they try and take away your sense of humour, there isn't much left, is there? I am surprised that this has happened at all. There are a lot of very witty barristers in the UK who I am sure could savage this ruling.

In the meanwhile, no smiling! :)
