    The British are way more afraid of swearing on national TV than the Americans are

      Nope, the broadcaster just issues a (sometimes tongue in cheek) apology and everything carries on.

      The US broadcasters risk breach of advertising contracts and losing money over it.

      The UK broadcasters will get a small fine if they don’t apologise and do it regularly.

      And the public in the UK generally don’t care.
