Thank God For A Non PC Country

,

Just found the following on the BBC News website

"Hundreds of tourists have been queuing in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, Italy, to gain entry to one of the city's most extravagant brothels.

The 2,000-year-old building, featuring erotic fresco paintings, has been re-opened after a costly restoration.

The Lupanare - from the Latin word "lupa" for prostitute - is regarded as one of Pompeii's main attractions. "


Can you imagine the furore if that Brothel had been in Bath or York,the PC brigade would have a field day complaining about the glorification of loose morals and sending the wrong message to our youth.

Well thank you Italy a country proud to display its history even if it is a little seamy.

PS and they make the best cars and the worst drivers in the world
