The last video taken of Madeleine McCann.

What of noxious fumes from vehicles?

I believe it is now illegal to smoke and drive in a car containing children, however it is not (yet) illegal to say “f..k off” on an airport bus in front of them.

A triumph for the anti-smoking lobby but not necessarily for the children breathing in pollutants from traffic exhausts.

I am still of the opinion that using expletives in front of small children is unacceptable.

Do you object to laws protecting children from being confined to small spaces and forced to breathe in their selfish parents’ harmful exhalations?  Do you think it would be better if they outlawed swearing in front of children instead?  I don’t expect a straight answer to this btw, but your post does give me the impression that you do and you do.

My children were brought up in a non smoking home.
We once travelled by coach to Italy and in the seats in front of us there were two women smoking and it really worried me that my children were breathing in the cigarette smoke.

Sometimes the children attended football matches where swearing could be heard.
Easy to say to children, don't use the bad language you may hear, not so easy to remove the harmful effects of passive smoking.

No concern about the traffic emissions I see.

This was well before the era of concern about traffic emissions but passive smoking had become a big concern.
Nothing we could do about traffic emissions but we could do our best to limit the amount of passive smoking our children were subjected to.

It was on a network not just the bus. Hence why they had to dubb out Gerry.

It’s a lot easier if you ask the question and then give the answers that fit your agenda.

I don't think it counts as goading when they do it.

Which is exactly why we are being asked to “wonder” why Gerry was grumpy and swearing, isn’t it?

Hmmmm yes ...

"I don't think it counts as goading when they do it.  "  is also goading.  There is goading and goading and we have to tell them apart.
