There was a notice on a pillory this weekend saying something like, "Unfortunately, we are no longer allowed to let you put your head in the pillory because of the interference of the stupid nanny state." Maybe the government will produce "No pillory" signs as make all public places display them, too.
Which reminds me of a spate of drive-by cabbage-throwings in the East End about twenty years ago. Yes, really. No fatalities, but I believe some people were quite badly hurt.
