Red face Can a 'T' shirt be offensive?

"Don't **** me off! I am running out of places to hide the bodies."

Well for wearing that across his T shirt he's been warned that if spotted again he'll get an £80 fine!

That's Peterborough's street wardens for ya!.....

Here he is.....



and the OFFENDING item....



Full sad, sad story here

I hope some terrorist group gets hold a nuke and nukes the UK. We need a slap around our face to wake us up. I honestly think the UK is becoming the most pathetic country in the world.

Thshirthell.com has the most offensive t-shirts I have ever seen, particularly product id 102.

Mate got cautioned the same way before. Rather chubby guy, so he took his t shirt off and asked the officer which he found more offence, man ***** and all.

Technically it could be considered to be an offence under the Public Order Act

I often wear "printed" tshirts and I think Mr Pratt should stick to his guns and wear the t-shirt with pride. He will encapsulate everything that is right with this once proud nation: Freedom of Speech, mulletts and blubber
The t-shirt I wore when I went shopping on Saturday had the word "boobies" on it I'm sorry, I should be in prison really. I am so naughty

many years ago when the Poll Tax was about i used to wear a T-Shirt that said B***ocks to the Poll Tax, A copper grabbed me once in Stockport town centre and told me to put my jacket on and cover it up otherwise he would arrest me for public order.

at the time i think i was about 19 and not wanting to be nicked i covered myself up

Can't see what all the fuss was about. He might be a "Prat" but its not that offensive!

LOL, what a load of crap!

But it was a warden saying he 'could' receive a fine from the police.

I would hope there isn't a single copper who'd be stupid enough to even consider wasting ink on writing out a ticket for that.

Peterborough City Council will be burning books in the street next for ****s sake, let the guy wear his T-Shirt, we live in a democracy and he has every right to look like a complete tit whenever he wants to. And how!

Seriously, some people need a sense of humour .... you may not find the tee-shirt funny but it's an attempt at humour, nothing more.

Geez ......

I have a t-shirt from that shop, which spells out Fit Chick Unbelievable Knockers. So is that offensive now?

Think one of the most offensive t-shirts has to be from Cradle of Filth.
It`s got Jesus is a c*** on the back and on the t-shirt there are no stars to mask out the word.

They have another t-shirt with a picture of a nun, legs akimbo, playing with herself. I've forgotten the slogan....

Infact its the same t-shirt

Sounds as though someone has had a sense of humor failure over this. Next thing they will do will be to go after people wearing loud shirts, in which case I might be in a spot of bother

I'd consider it offensive if it had something like "Pedophile's rule!", "Kill all Gays!" or anything else inciting hatred and such like.

Whose going to have the ***** to wear a t-shirt which features one of the infamous dutch cartoons of a certain deity?
