Fine threat over T-shirt slogan (http://http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/cambridgeshire/6943734.stm)

Freedom of speech is under attack in Europe these years.

In UK a man could risk a fine of 80£, if he is caught wearing the T-shirt again.

In Denmark pupils can be sent home if they at some school wear a T-shirt with the TV-slogan "Show me your boobies".

Talk about zero tolerance. What is a unacceptable T-shirt? I don't know. I had a T-shirt with Mr. Bush, there would be no problem in D.C but I would properly loose my life if I had it on in Bagdad.

It is hard times.
