The problem - Guest Jon is that Roger cannot understand what you are saying because he has his own agenda and insists on sticking to it often flying in the face of common sense, and facts.

Roger - for the very last time.

What you can do or not do on the streets of Sheffield is not affected by those streets being licensed. It is affected by permission.

As for your prediction that they may charge for such a permisssion or place restrictions on what we can do there - well they always have charged for use of the streets and they always have restricted what you can do there so they may do so for this. We hand this control as part of democracy. If we do not like what they do we can elect a new council.

Are the streets of your town licensed for regulated entertainment?

Following your logic you would not want them to be licensed, thus restricting opportunities for music making on the streets of Weymouth.

At least your agenda is now in the open, stop music making on the streets.
