You’re discussing a man who pled guilty to racially aggravated actions. That’s the law he broke. I haven’t missed the point.
Sure.
Your stupidity is offending me. That’s not illegal.
That picture offended Mo Salah. That’s illegal.

Read the article.
Do you think this (the offence itself) was about race?
Compare and contrast with the sorts of comment and cartoons that get distributed in widely circulated publications that sometimes viciously attack and lampoon other people, religions and ideologies and you realise the UK is sliding back into becoming a defacto blasphemy state.
Hell as a well known and widely followed author you can even non to subtlely suggest that the current pm should be hung from a lamp post....
Will he be seeing the inside of a court room?

He got sentenced for a racially aggravated action. That’s about as cut and dry as you can get.
There is a bit of irony to your first post in the thread and I guess this perhaps explains why you were unable to answer the other poster's question above and instead told him to read the article:
It seems that perhaps you don't:

Did you not understand that this was about religion? I think you've got a bit hung up on the article mentioning "racially aggravated".

Yes, that's my entire point. He's chosen the suicide vest based on the man's religion. So why is it racist?
Who said it was racist?
Why is it "racially aggravated"?
He must have used the P word. Must have said something.
The press in their headlines. When the Offence can either be racially or religiously aggravated (or both) but it isn't entirely clear what the defendant actually pleaded to
The poster further up the thread seemed to think it was.
It isn't, it was about religion, religion can be treated in the same way. The poster telling you to read the article rather tellingly couldn't answer your question.

We will do when the police stop arresting people for using hurtful words and images on the internet.
I know little about police hierarchies but do they general not just follow the narrative set by the politician's?
I never had a problem with cracking down on derogatory talk, it can just be difficult to filter out what is blatant unnecessary mockery or degrading speech and what is a genuine expression of your circumstances.
But trying to police the internet is just ridiculous. They are only going to catch the ones stupid enough to post silly stuff under their own names.
