Taken from the article on punk band Crass: During the mid 1980s, under the direction of James Anderton copies of Crass' Penis Envy were seized, along with other records by Crass and The Dead Kennedys, by Greater Manchester Police from Eastern Bloc record shop. Frank Schofield was charged with displaying "Obscene Articles For Publication For Gain". The band, Flux of Pink Indians its two record labels and its publishing company were also charged under the Obscene Publications Act, but all charges were dropped by Greater Manchester Police. [1]
Shouldn't something on this be in there?

"he was often in conflict with the liberal-left in the city's political leadership during the 1980s"
In the 1980s, Liverpool was largely being run by Derek Hatton and the Militant Tendency. Militant were hardly "liberal-left": they were Trotskyists. It's not clear to me whether the author meant liberal to be interpreted in classical British political terms (free trade and what-not) or in current American terms, but either way, I'm not sure it's accurate. Hence removed original to talk page and reworded.

There is a very interesting set of documents released under the 30 year rule on 1 Jan 2012, which can be found at
which should be incorporated into the article (by some experienced Wikipedian). Also whilst commenting, the only heading in this article is 'career'. Surely it should be split into other sections, ie Early/personal life, AIDS controversy, Stalker affair etc, reactions to Scarman report etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.193.120 ( talk) 17:35, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
I've removed the claim that Anderton was the youngest ever Chief Constable. I have considered whether he may have been the second or third youngest, etc, but it appears his age is of no significance. Joseph Davidson Sowerby was 29 years old when he took office in 1892 at Plymouth Borough Police, and officers such as Robert Cyril Morton Jenkins were in their late thirties when they became chief officers. Sowerby, so far, appears to hold the record. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheRothOfKhan ( talk • contribs) 15:02, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

The link cited does indeed state that Britton was imprisoned for four months, but I'm having trouble confirming that from other sources. Sources such as https://thequietus.com/articles/10988-michael-butterworth-savoy-publisher-interview refer to Lord Horror as having been inspired by a previous jail term of four weeks in Strangeways in 1982. That doesn't logically exclude the possibility that he was jailed again over Lord Horror, but in that case it's surely odd that neither the Quietus article nor http://www.mancunianmatters.co.uk/content/160870252-last-author-banned-obscene-comes-out-hiding-manchester-exhibition-boundary-pushing mention it. 130.225.26.35 ( talk) 10:56, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
