Do English courts ban Youtube if someone put an amusing video about someone of special important people of English history?

I am just curious about the behaviour of European countries such a situation...



English courts very rarely ban ANYTHING! BTW I have just been chatting to my son who is studying in China at the moment and Youtube has just been banned there!




Well the government banned smoking in ALL public places last year!!
Now they are trying to ban the use of plastic bags.



Banning plastic bags????? WHY??????

For any coverment it is a risk, if people start to use they own brains and think. That is one reason, why in some countries wemen can not go to school. Thinking woman is a threat to dominating men. I consider myself as a feminist man^^

For example if it is not ok for a woman to cheat his husband, what gives the right to man to cheat his wife? Same rights for both sexes ^^ I am not afright of intelligent wemen, i love talking with other people abaut difficult issues, and that is only way how we learn more abaut ourselves XD

I think most US cities have a smoking ordinance now. One just passed in Houston in September, so I would be pretty sure that smoking is banned in NY too. Personally, I enjoy the ban because I hadn't gone out in years to a club for fear of being exfixiated by smoke...but I feel kind of bad for the smokers!!! They can't even smoke in the parking lots if they are publically owned.

The environmental implications of the production and disposal of millions of plastic are huge!
Bags are used for an average of 20 minutes yet take 1000's of years to decompose in landfills. So many are disposed of thoughtlessly they are threatening wildlife all over the world.I could go on and on but you can Google it!

Thirteen billion plastic bags are given away each year in the UK alone. Their production and disposal addds CO2 emissions. And many contribute to polluction problem and threaten widelife.
