As someone said, " Alluah Akbar " used to mean " I am about to explode ", now it means " please recycle thoughtfully "

Do they play "pass the parcel" at Green parties?

Still your interpretation of official figures.

I am not “interpreting” anything. I am merely stating facts, not offering opinions on them. Perhaps you can point to where in the legislation it refers to “thoughts” being an offence.

 

[Wisbech Eagle]

Childish behaviour which wont win him any friends. He accepts that it was offensive and he made a mistake, just apologise and move on.

By not apologising he is giving legs to what is really a non story. It will now move from politician made a mistake to politician not fit to be a leader.

Stupid, stupid stupid.

If you read this report you can see that, in his opinion, precisely the reverse is true. He feels if he apologised, rather than simply explain, that this would be immediately exploited by Farage and Reform. Which in turn would add fuel to an already dangerous situation.

I agree with him. Reform have made a whole mountain range out of a baby molehill without the slightest regard for the consequences, despite their faux claims. Why people can’t see this beats me.

Polanski says guillotine re-post was mistake but refuses to apologise

The Green leader re-posted a photo of a man wearing a guillotine t-shirt and the name Nigel.

Imaging thinking Reform have over reacted after a reform member was murdered 2 weeks ago 🤷🏻‍♂️

Farage should just punch the wormy little shyte.

And your interpretation is the only correct one. This is a new development.

Without wishing to intercede in this platform's favourite sport of Wisbech baiting, he has a point.

The press have tried this approach before. They were wrong then; were called out; kept quiet for a few years; and have now rehashed the same twaddle during the news desert that is the summer thinking nobody would notice.

The offences referred to probably encompass some of the "hurty words" messages that the Mail and Express and many on here get exercised about, albeit at the more serious end of the spectrum ("grossly offensive" being a high bar). There may still be debate over whether the boys in blue are required on them, but...

The offences captured by this FOI request capture a much wider range of offences coming within the "sending grossly offensive, indecent, obscene, or menacing messages" category. Thus, if your teenage daughter was sent (along with the whole school) a picture of her naked that caused her to jump in front of a bus, that would be included. They would also include threats of death to Farage.

If you think those are silly, diddums, hurty words, where the recipients should grow a pair, then perhaps you might want to argue that point.

Your take on that is perverted. I said it's more dangerous on the left because you have so many mentally unstable idealistic morons as supporters, many of them see a need to pierce themselves in their own faces. The left created this expansion of snitching as a method of getting what they want, the trouble is they think they are immune to their own creation. Reform are simply showing them what equality is, and are calling out the cops on that two tierness.

Yes, exactly - total projected bollocks.

If the go-to evidence for a theory is 'a tiny percentage of them have facial piercings', it's probably not a very robust theory.

 

[CPFCSaturn]

Pretty sure he kicked off when harmless granny held up a Palestine Action support placard and got arrested.

"She's 82, EIGHTY TWO!!!!!!"

And if ever the proof was needed that you're really arguing against an imaginary leftist in your head...

Literally inventing quotes, as well as inventing a way the made-up quotes were delivered in your imagination (EIGHTY TWO!!!!) 🤣

It's amazing how prevalent this sort of thing is on the right.

How about 48-year-old women arrested for standing silently in a public street.

Why is it baiting when someone would argue black is white in order to support his preconceptions?
Of course some deserve to be arrested for serious things but there are thousands of people getting picked up for expressing an opinion which doesn't fit the popular narrative. You might not be bothered about this but I see it as more of a concern than the extreme right wing bogeymen who are dragged into every thread.

I am bothered if it is e.g. the Graham Linehan incident.

However, when the Mail lump such "offences" together with genuinely malicious crimes like revenge p-o-r-n or death threats, I am entitled to attack the bogus stats they are peddling.

Fair enough but don't just dismiss them out of hand because of the source when as we all know The Mail will lead with stories The Guardian will avoid and vice versa. The BBC can claim to have carried stories even though they buried them five clicks away under local news.
The point remains that many people have been in trouble with the police for social media posts which were just expressing an opinion and that is worrying.

The point being made is that in reacting as they did they made things worse. This was naked political opportunism and not remotely genuine concern.

As both Polanski and the police have said everyone should condemn anything that puts public figures at risk. In doing this they have put Polanski at risk. It was beyond stupid. It was totally irresponsible. You can read the police’s conclusions here:-

I think you are right. No need to respond to trolls anymore.
