seems a bit harsh a £300 fine for airing a view that i'm sure a good few on here will hold. those of you who have been here more than 5 minutes will remember the caravan photoshopped images from a while back


better start hitting those edit buttons

Ninja edit: The woman was wrong, they are very sociable individuals, they don't cause havoc where ever they go, they aren't thieves with zero ability to conform to the standards of the general public and they are very lovely people. The girls don't dress like wannabe Katie Price slags, either.

Ridiculous.

 

[Bennie-Mac]

Its a good thing the judge cited defamation as a reason, cant have people thinking those gypsy scumbags are scumbags.

It's worse than that, common sense and freedom of speech is dead, Jim.

Freedom of speech does not include freedom to spread racial hatred.

The funny thing is, we don't need people telling us that pikies are scum and criminals, that's like saying "water is wet".

 

[Efour]

***** is one of my favourite insults of all time

since when is ***** a race?

 

[Biohazard]

Unacceptable really and I'm happy with the result!

You would think you would be above that sort of abuse and immaturity at that age as well.

 

[vincent1989]

So it's perfectly acceptable to challenge the socially acceptable view of the holocaust and be racist (provided you do not incite racial hatred) among other ridiculous things but we can't call thieving dirty unwashed scum* 'thieving dirty unwashed scum'?


*please note; no mention of ****** or gypsies.

Being racist without inciting racial hatred is like being a wife beater without beating your wife. You know it's wrong, so you stop yourself from doing it. But you probably have a mental issue which means that it isn't your fault. Of course people shouldn't be punished for what is beyond their control. That would be thought crime.
