2. No WAY!
Tell me that's not true! Is swearing illegal in the UK? I don't think so!

3. It IS true
I've been watching the crap all day on Sky News (would choose BBC but can't get it) and it was mentioned there. There's no link on their website but they have said that several arrests were made for swearing.
