Give me strength!

Did anyone else read this? The (female) president of the Friends of Palestine Society at Royal Holloway (part of London University) made an insulting remark to one Brodie Mitchell, who describes himself as a non-Jewish Zionist. He responded by telling her that she was wearing a tea towel on her head. Harmless banter? Oh dear no, the Royal Holloway suspended him - but not her - for nine weeks. Mitchell took the authorities to court and received a financial award.

End of the matter? Certainly not. The police have now sent a file to the Crown Prosecution Service on the grounds that they might wish to prosecute Mitchell for hate crime.

Nothing wrong in sending a file unless the recipient is serving twenty to life.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, but I would have thought that if someone had already been found in court to have been sinned against rather than sinning, the chances of the CPS deciding they had a reasonable chance of securing a conviction against him would be extremely remote. But what do I know? The law works in mysterious ways.

We are such an embarrassment......To think the country I grew up in that was an example of free speech to the world, now clutches its pearls at offence like some posh tart who's accidently walked into Lidl.

....AND then you wonder why the movement, in the link below, has gone from strength to strength. Go into the modern workplace and crack a few jokes. Or wear the wrong T-shirt, and you will swiftly be up for a disciplinary (or worse).
In some toxic environment, can you get a whiff of hostility just for being a straight white male ? Even if you head is full of more wokeness than Gary Linekar ?

The case above, the fact that she insulted him first......it should be like a football-handbags situation wherein either BOTH of them get a Yellow Card. Or both are told to grow up.
