In the end as I remember, Mr Punch gets hanged for his misdemeanors.
Like the stories from Brothers Grimm, It teaches a lesson.

'Traditional' Punch and Judy is very violent, It features wife beating and child abuse.

//Ian Johnson, a Plaid Cymru councillor, told BBC Wales Barry council had passed a motion opposing domestic violence and both UK and Welsh Governments had agreed legislation."I was concerned that a traditional Punch and Judy show will go against these aims," he said.
"The issue was that it was treading a fine line between entertainment and recognising that some of it was inappropriate. I don't know what the exact content of the show would have been, but it has elements of hitting people and that is not something that we would want to promote."

Haha Plaid Cymru. Perhaps if they promised to do it in Welsh, it would be deemed to be a cultural icon. Knob. Itchy and Scratchy anyone?

No dt, it's all swept under the (sheepskin) carpet.

[Togo]
