    Crowds of people have marched in CUK's capital General to call for a tougher sentence for a British poster banned for abusing the swear filter.

    Churchill Supremespod, 54, from Up North, was naughty-stepped for 7 days on Friday.

    Some reports said posters had called for him to be shot. His lawyer said he was later moved for his own safety.

    The posters took to the streets after Friday postings to denounce the sentence as too lenient.

    The protesters gathered in Faqqers Square, outside the presidential palace in the capital, many of them carrying knives and sticks.

    Some news agencies reported thousands of people took part in the protest, but a BBC reporter at the scene said up to a thousand marchers turned out.

    According to some agencies, some of the posters chanted: "Shame, shame on CUK", "No tolerance - execution" and "Kill him, kill him by firing squad".

    One demonstrator told reporters that it was unacceptable to take a swearword and post it in quotes.

    "We can't accept it from anybody. Even if they can do that in Europe, they cannot do it here in CUK. We ask our rulers and judges to review what they have said. 7 days is not enough."

    Prime Minister Gordon Brown has been in touch with Churchills' family for a second time, speaking to a close relative of the poster.

    Foreign Secretary David Milanbenes has expressed "in the strongest terms" the UK's concern at his banning.

    The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, said he could not "see any justification" for the sentence, calling it an "absurdly disproportionate response" to a "minor cultural faux pas".

    Churchill had been on CUK for a number of years teaching primary school children.
    That is absolute genius. Sir, I salute you

    But I'm always armed with a KFC Spork, rather than a knife these days.
