It is not that long ago that Greater Manchester had a very religious man, James Anderton, as its Chief Constable. I recall in my youth that performances by pop artists in the City were not really permitted on a Sunday. If any were alowed, they had to finish early.
Fortunately Anderton’s tenure was short, and Jollification resumed quickly, but for a few years it was like living under an oppressive Ayatollah.

Gromit, you may recall that when Eric Idle played KoKo in The Mikado, he reworked the targets in the song "I've Got a Little List", as KoKos often do, and included
Bishops who don't believe in God
Chief constables who do
I believe he had Anderton in mind at the time

TTT,
He was stopping me dancing on a Sunday. But grudgingly I have to admit his remit was crime prevention :-)
Just looked up Anderton on Wiki, and It made me smile and wince in equal measure. Give it a read TTT, I am sure there is stuff their that you will like.

sanmac - // It's very difficult, if not downright impossible, to educate those who have absolutely no desire whatsoever to be educated. //
If no-one made a start educating people who have absolutely no desire whatsoever to be educated, then there would still be slaves working in the USA.
I am sure Abraham Lincoln, and Rosa Parkes, and Martin Luther King, and Nelson Mandela all thought that they faced an uphill apparently impossible task in changing the minds of millions of people - but it didn't stop them making a start - and a change.
If we all shrug our shoulders and say that people living in archaic unfair societies don't want to be changed, so let's just not bother, then nothing is ever going to change.

Talbot,
// The Sunday Observance Act 1780 was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain. Originally eight sections long, only sections 1 to 3 were still in force after the 1960s. These sections prohibited the use of any building or room for public entertainment or debate on a Sunday. //
Everywhere else had turned a blind eye to the Sunday Obserance Act by the 1980’s, but Anderton enforced it. It was still lwa, and Anderton enforced the law, and banned gigs.
