Posted by: am1am2 on: March 15, 2010
A few months ago a woman was given a suspended prison sentence for having loud and long sex after neighbours complained.
Now a couple who swears that they make no noise and have maybe 10 minutes of sex a week have been told that they cannot have sex between 10pm and 7am.

You probably know how we at Morning Quickie like to follow what’s going on in America around abortion law.
I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it looks like women in Utah are now going to be charged with murder if their miscarriages are caused by “intentional or knowing” acts.

Posted by: am1am2 on: February 22, 2010

A supermarket in Wales has banned people from shopping in their pyjamas for fear of offending customers.

This really is censorship gone mad.
