Police were repeatedly called to their home after their 'appalling' domestic flare-ups spilled out onto the street. Neighbours could rarely sit in their gardens 'enjoying the sunshine, barbecues or paddling pools' because of the rows, magistrates were told. Prosecutor Jonathan Barrett said: 'Some people detailed almost daily occurrences of shouting and screaming matches lasting an hour or more, with vile abuse and threats.
'Neighbours were unable to sleep. The stress of living near such an unacceptable domestic situation led them to fear for their own well-being and safety.' Mr Jones, 41, and Miss Lloyd, 37, had previously been warned about their behaviour at their home in Tonypandy, Rhondda, South Wales. Rhondda magistrates yesterday gave them Anti Social Behaviour Orders in a bid to stop their arguing.
The two-year order bans them from 'using verbally abusive or threatening language to each other and from causing a noise nuisance at their home'. The couple were told they would be arrested and jailed if they continued their rows.

Totalitarian bullshit, once again! No judge or court has the right to tell a couple of consenting adults what they can or cannot say to eachother in their relationship. The law should be able to force them to keep it down for the neighbours sake and not physically harming eachother, but telling them what they cannot say when they are arguing is utter bullshit. The judge should be ashamed of themselves. And also ordered to stop making the UK more like North Korea, at least for two years.
whath teh hell is as asbos
are they going to get mesotheilioma?
hehe im assuming your not being sarcastic

its a weird ol' world we are living in
However i would fucking hate to live next to people like this and would be annoyed if i didnt have the material means to move away, i know its totalitarian and stupid, but come on! I guess these people probably need serious counselling instead of the threat to jail, maybe they need to get the hell away from each other and leave well enough alone
In case you were replying to me, I already said I am for them being forced to quiet down. That's totally reasonable. Telling them what they may not say is not.
If there's abuse involved, why hasn't more action been taken?
It appears to be only verbal abuse.
i wasnt directly replying to your comment but i do agree with what you say
...and to go both ways.
