Indecent noise
Indecent noise
Just what is this indecent publications business all about? Despite large volumes of noise about it. no thesis has established any definite connection between literature and perverted behaviour, depravity, or any form of sexual or moral aberrations.
It is a sad commentary on our political and cultural maturity that a Tribunal born of this country to capture the envy of many parts of the world should become the scapegoat of ill-considered criticism.
Members of the Tribunal can't walk into milk bars and start condemning the varied hot paperbacks. If people are really concerned you'd think they'd submit a few books for consideration.
