Sex Pistols Break U.K. Smoking Law

The Sex Pistols are facing a $100 fine after openly flouting a smoking ban at a concert in London. The punk icons were playing at London’s Brixton Academy when the band lit up several cigarettes on stage, breaking the new law which came into force on July 1, banning smoking in all enclosed public places. A mere $100 for openly flouting a smoking ban, isn’t that a complete joke or what, the rules need to be relooked at and the rules for gigs need to be revaluated. For fans smoking at such gigs the fine of $100 is fine but for these super rich bands it should be a cool hundred thousand $$$ so that they would pay attention to the rules. Now come on you clumsy police officials you can do better, you are putting such a small fine that anyone would be happy to break the rules and hog the headlines. The London police are like inviting them to break the rules, pay a $100 and you can go away with a simple thank you.
