Didn't prince harry once dress up as a nazi? do they just ban all offensive comedy too?

Everyone has seen the Four Lions movie? surely that's just as offensive as this guy?

In a statement at the time, the force said: 'North Yorkshire Police can confirm that a man has been arrested after the force received complaints about a man wearing an offensive costume on social media, depicting murderer, Salman Abedi who killed 22 people at Manchester Arena.

'The man, who is aged in his 40s, was arrested on 1 November on suspicion of a number of offences including using a public communication network to send offensive messages.

seems he pleaded guilty

The 40-year-old was arrested and last week pleaded guilty to sending an offensive message online and faces up to two years in jail when he is sentenced on October 3.

weird behaviour for someone whos not uni age though.

How soon was it before people started doing twin tower jokes? surely it can't have been that many years.

Which rage bait feed served you up an article from October last year to get upset about?

None did...
It eas in the news again recently, I guess because he's being sentenced next month...

if you had paid attention you would see the quotations in my post aren't from that old article, the actual linked article I think didn't even confirm if he was arrested just said people had informed the police?


I went to google and googled the guys name, found an article that had the least cookies/adverts spam and posted that link instead.

sorry thought I was doing the right thing rather than getting everyone to accept 1000tracker cookies or whatever..


anyway is it not important? this guy will no doubt serve jail time, after we just let out real criminals, sex offenders, even a murderer etc too make space... for a guy who does inappropriate cosplay

huw edwards what was his sentence again???? suspended. even thought he was only caught due to being in contact with another nonse who got arrested


our criminal system is satire, keir watched idiocracy and thought it was as epiphany

Must be a slow news week/weekend in GD if users are having to drag up year old news articles to get their "i need to be angry at something" fix...

how about read the thread before you comment?

I explained why I linked an old article.... its in the news again because sentencing is soon..... I choose not to use a link that makes you accept 1000 cookies.

next time I will just maske ya;ll accept a million cookies and 500 adverts and use a "fresh link"..

anyone who complains I'll just link your quoted post.

why does the age of the article matter so much? and when hes being sentenced next month surely its still relevant?

You think cosplayers should be arrested or what? because someone gets offended? what next it's offensive to Muslims even though they seem to be the only ones in the world doing suicide bombings?

ahhh now I see, it must be Islamophobic.

its same as stupid posts on social media is more of a threat than a paedophile or other crimes. strange world we live in now.

one wrong tweet could bring Starmer down, did you not see Drwho vs Harriet Jones?


Starmer is like the Western Winnie the Poo, he probably gets on well with Xi jinping or whatever hes called

lets face it the guys having a laugh, it's comedy.

people dress up in fancy dress to make people laugh, not to offend them.

It's childish and immature but that seems to be all.


It's not like hes running into public places or a mosque and filming it for youtube.

What was the offensive context? someone doesn't like it.

Meanwhile in the UK 3 of the biggest comedians who do sell out tours make pedo jokes and no one cares.

surely pedo jokes are more offensive than a fancy dress suicide bomber?
