A poetry group has been banned from performing in its local pub - on health and safty grounds.
The Royal Standard in Ely, Cambs, has been threatened with a £5,000 fine because it has an entertainment licence for only singing and not speaking.

Don't lie Benjamin in your post, please. The real title says: Health and safety chiefs ban poetry group
MODERATORS: Please modify the title, because the title of the thread is misleading completely. There are no Nazis in the article, not even in it's title. It's just holding the personal distorted opinion of the OP, which is not making this breaking news to objective, but it's very manipulative.
On to topic. Benjamin. Please tell me where the Nazis are in this article? So?
P.S.: A moderator have been alerted in this matter.

Actually you're using a label what about we clearly see you don't have the clue what does it mean in the reality.
Nazi = short term of Nacionalsocialist
Is there any national socialist in the article? Definitely not. Is there any SS or Hitler fan in the article? Definitely not. Is there any Jews whose interest was hurt in this incident? Definitely not or maybe, but who cares? This case isn't based on racial or cultural difference. So, what do you do? Misleading the readers with a phrase, which has no connection to it.
So, please don't misuse a term for an event, which has no connection to it at all. Thanks.
P.S.: Thanks moderator for the title change.

I'm not interested in the fake meaning of the word: Nazi.
Originally posted by SheridanIf some idiot, who don't even know what does it mean, faked it as many idiot with great inferiority complex are usually doing at wikipedia, I don't care. The meaning is still national socialist (German National Socialist to be precise), regardless what you figure out. Also, in the article there are no facists too, so try something else.
Originally posted by SheridanIf you want to scream Nazi and fascist day by day where are none, create phantom enemies because some inferior complexity dictates, take a deep breath, go out to the front yard and scream it loudly. Then at least someone will came after you and will give you a nice white leather jacket before they would escort you to a calm and peaceful place where only your shadow will hunt you.[edit on 3-11-2008 by Sheridan]

Good going guys.
Seeing as you have both dragged what is actually quite an interesting story off topic, I feel I can join in.
Will you both stop it? This is prime example of ATS at its worst - all about ego...
Get over yourselves.
Neither of you is as clever as you think, and I for one am saddened to see something interesting turned into a pseudo-intellectual dance off.
Grow up and discuss the thread - not each other, children.
Peace,

The T & C apparently does state that the title of the thread must match the article so really it's the T & C Nazis that put the boot to you not the lexicographic Nazis.
On a related note inspired by another poster suggesting poems be sung, what about rap? Where does that fit in the singing spectrum according to the law? If music is played in the background, does that qualify?
