    uncensored or edited swearing on the BBC's news website... very unusual of them, they have such a family image usually.

    Fascinating, I'm sure. :p

    The best part is that somebody will probably lodge an official complaint to BBC for this.

    exactly, my thoughts exactly sib!!!

    innocent teen children whose vocabularly already includes every swear known to man should not be exposed to such words in the lublic domain, because it will encourage them to use them on a regular basis and give the impression that its rihht to use them.


    and i managaed to say that with a straight face!
