madthatter Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Horrid word and probably not right to use in a tribute to someone, can understand why a teen into that scene would.. However, tag and a curfew is daft, for someone posting online.. I agree with the PC on this one (the word shouldn't be used by anyone, or it should be able to be used by everyone - I'd prefer the former) but the consequences, given the context and age, are way over the top. Big Brother is really stamping his feet at the minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a Sky reporter outside that tried interviewing him and said "gas the Jews" 4/5 times. If context isnt being taken into consideration then this fella should also be arrested.

madthatter Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 He's an utter cnut An unfunny utter cnut From what I've seen I'm inclined to agree but . . . I don't think he's broken any law and as said above, it sets a very concerning precedent if that conviction stands. All this hate crime/speech stuff is bollocks.

madthatter Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 There's intent and not just context to be considered. True but as I understand the law re. hate speech/crimes neither context nor intent matter; if someone finds something offensive (so long as it is related to a protected characteristic) you could be charged. Madness on so many levels. Someone could vocalise or write the most vile, hateful incendiary bollocks but so long as it isn't directly or indirectly aimed at a protected characteristic you couldn't be charged. But someone makes a shite gag about Nazis and they get a record!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madthatter Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 That's not true. It's true in relation to hate speech. I could slag off gingers in the most vile way possible but I aint getting charged with a hate crime. I could make a sarcy gag about women and get done - potentially Is that not correct?

I definitely don't think Frankie Boyles shitting himself yet. However I'm not sure you can give someone a criminal record for shit jokes. CPS would've had a field day on here a few years ago.

madthatter Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) Do we really have to cover again the difference between calling someone a black bastard and someone else a ginger cunt? You can if you want. It's clear as day for me. Is it wrong? I see you dodged that bit. Ginger, black, fat, ugly, lesbian whatever; the point is that a shit gag isn't really inciting hatred is it and if it offends folk they can switch off or leave the room. They shouldn't be getting arrested for it. Where would you draw the line? Edited April 24, 2018 by madthatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
