Les Brooks stalks deer, shoots pigeons and runs game shoots in Buckinghamshire. His cockney heritage makes him – and he is the first to admit this – a bit sweary. However, swearing got him into trouble. He called his son-in-law a rude word, that led to the son-in-law complaining to the police, @thamesvalleypoliceuk issued Les with a section 5 public order offence and then came and seized his firearms. You now risk a gun grab if you use a rude word.
