Hold the mustard and “Star Whores” please.

Ah... the payoff is at the end,

...and their freebies dispatched to East Riding Council's trading standards department for doubtless close examination.

CLOSE examination... along with several burgers and a few pints no doubt.

[humblegunner]

The Brits are against free enterprise?

I guess the Brits are becoming anti-American. Who would complain about porn happy meals?

Cute...

[KarlInOhio]

Please, no pickles in either the burger or the porn.

Not exactly a large place - I got lost there last September..:^)

If the kids knew about it, I’m guessing the local Plod was not doing his duty, or perhaps there isn’t even a local police station there any more - centralization, you know...:^)

[Question Liberal Authority]

We won't tolerate this because youngsters could have been given the DVDs.

HUH? It's Great Britain. Just shut them down for "health and safety" concerns. The saturated fat alone ought to be worth several life sentences.

Sounds like the rackets run by some of the gangs in the Lock Stock (and two smoking...) tv show would've run.

[SnakeDoctor]

Porn licensing? Heh. The UK government is clearly doing the work of the people.

“We will not have you peddling videos of naked women doing naked-women-stuff without our special ‘Naked Women Doing Stuff Video Peddling Licence’.”

They are standing athwart immorality and saying “Not without our permission!! (and a nominal fee)”

Here in America they are trying to outlaw selling burgers and giving away free toys.

And the hysteria that they would be giving the DVDs to kids? Late at night? Outside a bar? While selling beer?

Maybe parents need to keep better tabs on their kids rather than letting them go hitting the town.

Also unusual is that they could be arrested first, held, and they still don’t know what they will charge the men with.

Fishing expedition. Then again, over there you are not declared “innocent until proven guilty”.

Our ancestors came to establish this nation for a reason.

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

He would have been given a reason for being arrested, something like distributing indecent material or something along those lines. When they got to the cop shop, they might have discovered that due to some technicality or some other reason, the charge does not fit the crime. That is apart from the fact that he is selling food without a license in breach of health and safety regulations (food vendors have to be suitably qualified and assessed before selling food to members of the public)....

The UK takes one more step towards becoming a real life Idiocracy.
