Its a case of do what you like these days. Nobody is gonna stop you anyway! Freedom of speech and freedom of action!

This is becoming a regular occurence, why are there never any police in the area? Its a busy area, especially on a Saturday night and there are a number of busy pubs in the vicinity. We need more police presence!
