- pjc50 9y agoNo, it's definitely profanity in the UK too. Every now and again some profanity makes it through and someone has to make an apology. Today it's for a hilarious spoonerism on BBC Breakfast: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/4762492/bbc-breakfast-louise-minchin-apology-swearing/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/4762492/bbc-breakfast-...

(content warning: actually says the banned words, obviously). There's something very funny about imagining the serious discussion that must have resulted in these documents.
