Now that I'm free to speak my mind on the subject, I just want to put it on record that I reckon he was a bit of a dick, I don't think he'd stand his round when it came to it.

If only I were free to blaspheme too.

Is blasphemy one of the 6000 laws repealed? I hope so.

Henry was a fat bad ass who could not keep a woman.

There - I said it. Feels liberating!

It's wonderful to see real progress in action. Two years ago, the French Government repealed the law stipulating that women could only wear trousers if they were "holding a bicycle handlebar or the reins of a horse".

A reward for the capture or death of the “arch traitor” Earl of Tyrone Hugh O’Neill is no longer available, after the 1601 proclamation offer was finally revoked more than 500 years later.

Dammit. Nearly had him too! :mad:

It's political correctness gone mad if you ask me.

Does this mean we can get abortions now?

Mr.Goodman

Damn I was so close in capturing O'Neill and getting that reward money.

No, that will require a referendum.

Ah, did not know, I doubt they will hold that any time soon.

Maybe the 1601 Proclamation was some sort of forward-planning policy paper published in the early 1500s, a bit like Agenda 21. Or yeah, journalist in bad maths shocker.

Would holding a referendum to remove the blasphemy law constitute blasphemy?

It comes out more symmetrically in the rhyme. (You have to do the accent, though, to get " 'Enery" in 3 syllables)

'Enery the Eighth six wives he wedded
One died, one survived, two divorced, two beheaded.

Wasn't there a rule somewhere in America that it was illegal to vote in some state if you had a duck on your head?

You probably have as much chance of being arrested for blasphemy as you were for criticising Harry 8's nuptials.

Have they revoked Ye Olde Statute forbidding ye driving of ye velocipede upon ye public footpath, formerly punishable by death, it certainly looks as if they have?
