‘Clockwork Orange’ – too Violent for the UK?

Clockwork Orange is a notoriously violent film, that was withdrawn for public showing by the Director Stanley Kubrick.
The film could actually still be seen by adults all over the world – apart from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The ban only applied to the UK, as Kubrick considered our society to be too inherently violent for any art-form that [...]

Tags Boost Traffic for WordPress Blogs

WordPress has been formatted to be SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) friendly, but you could still give it a helping hand if you want to maximise your traffic.
Every time you write a post make sure you also add Tags. I have only recently started doing this, and have noticed an immediate increase in visitors.
