Ooook!,
​
Isn't it illegal in England to disrespect the Queen. I remember when the Sex Pistols got in legal trouble for the lyrics of one of there songs that went "God save the Queen, she's not a human being". In the US we can have the right to speak what's on our mind both good and bad. I'm not in favor of hate speach or verbal thuggery, but I would not want our freedoms reduced just to keep from offending people.

Re: Silly laws
Yeh, I was probably mis-remembering the incident from some blurb on the TV or newspaper. It was a long time and many brain cells ago!
