The League of Decency is a pressure group for concerned citizens established in Ankh-Morpork. The Compleat Ankh-Morpork states that this Society has been in existance for some years now. Its purpose is firmly stated to be that of rooting out moral turpitude within the city and to shine forth a beacon light of decency and propriety into the murkier areas of the metropolis. Should anyone be shocked by witnessing offensive, loose or immoral behaviour they may witness, they are welcome to report it to the Society who are based at 13 high Trouser Lane (*F2). High Trouser Lane runs between Coots Bank and Esoteric Street. For anyone not sure of the purpose or intention of the group, a founder member and one highly placed on its committee is Miss Iodine Maccalariat.

Annotation

to shine forth a beacon light of decency and propriety into the murkier areas of the metropolis. Reminiscent of the founding principles of the Festival of Light, a British pressure group set up along similar lines, one of whose leading lights was Mrs Mary Whitehouse.
