*£80? Gieorr with thee yer soft twat

Having worked in Barnsley for a lengthy period some years ago, I can safely say that they are going to need a metric fuckton of fixed penalty notices in June to complete this initiative :

Swearing in public could result in boisterous people being fined £80 in a new police initiative to combat anti-social behaviour.

Officers in Barnsley, in south Yorkshire, have been told to monitor the language of people out shopping, eating or merely relaxing in the town centre.

If the member of the public is heard to swear and the profanity is judged to be potentially causing offence or intimidation, the officers have been told to intervene.

The first option is simply to tell the individual to moderate his or her language but if that is unsuccessful, the officer can fine the person a maximum of £80.

Members of the public have also been asked to report offensive and intimidating language, including swearing.

The fines are a part of a series of monthly campaigns aimed at tackling different types of anti-social behaviour.

One or two people I worked with didn’t even realise that every other word they said was fuck or cunt and will be quite surprised to end up with more in fines than even the likes of Greece owe to the EU.

*£80? You must be joking officer.
