Hmmm, funny thing censorship and freedom of speech.............
I recall many years ago when Lyndon Baines Johnson was President of the USA. His wife was called "Ladybird"
An American playwright came up with a political skit/parody called "LadyMacB". They wanted to put it on in London, but the Lord Chamberlain (or whatever government official is responsible) refused permission on the grounds that "It cast aspersions on the head of state of a friendly nation"
The playwrights comment was "Well at least you limeys don't mess around, in the States they were banning it on fire regulations"
