Another of the BBC Have Yur Says produced this gem:

"Don't you think, people, that it is better to shift our attention to
child abusers, paedophiles, drag edicts etc and leave normal citizens to
sort their own life as they wish?"
---------------------------
"Drag edict"? Clearly the government has gone too far! I don't care if
this edict is national in scope, I am not going wear women's clothes!

Reminds me of a partisan South Australian in the Don Dunstan era
who suddenly upped sticks and moved from Adelaide to Melbourne. This was
so out of character that a friend asked why. "Well," he replied, "they've
just made homosexuality legal in SA. I'm getting out before they make it
compulsory!"
